Hi! Are you still doing this. I have 2 Pulsar2s that died. My Luna and Pro are fine for almost 24 years!!!!! Not really necessary but would like to get at least one of the Pulsars going. I would barter one of them for the repair if possible. I'm located in New Jersey. Thanks!

I've just fixed mine, I'll be putting up a video tutorial "soon". So don't get rid of the cards.

Hi All

I need to replace a small capacitor that has come loose and one of the legs has snapped off so cant just re-solder. Its the one closest to the power plug on the IO board (no need to guess why its come loose! :cry: ). It has 3b 47 6.3v printed on it.

Can anyone point me to where I could buy a replacement please? I've tried looking but when googling I'm provided with a huge list of option and suspect that 99% aren't actually the same. I'm in the UK if that helps however I'd be happy to order from abroad if there are no UK suppliers.

Thanks
R

That’s great thanks so much Asktoby!

Although the link went to an auction that had ended I was able to find this one that is still active so thanks for your pointer!
