Hi Matt (and Parker):

I realized Parker's reply-to wasn't the ARSCList, so I'll repeat.

I did ping these guys and thanks for the tip.

This is a Sony D-3, which as I understand wasn't too good the day it was made, so perhaps it'll just 
go to those guys for parts if they need it.

I need to test the PSU and make sure it's putting out 9VDC.
