Rob,
	I've followed your story since the beginning, and I'm not sure
what to make of it. From the sounds of it, you've somehow substituted
most/all of the main boards, and the unit still behaves erratically.
Have you verified that the power supply (all voltages) is present and
stable? That's the only other component common to all functions.
	Check that out, and email me if the P.S. seems OK. I'd like to
help you with this (not in the way Morales did, though :-)
