raiding it for the precision resistors. I realised what it was before too
much damage had been done, and managed ot get them to give it to me. But
it's going to be a lot of work to get going again.
I suspect the resistors will not be hard to replace, as resistor quality
has gone up over the years. What is sad is the loss of well designed
equipment since the puter era.
