Re: Need help fixing relays of my CZ-1 please...

2012-01-06 by fab8soul

Thanks for this! I think I will be able to identify the relays now...

If anyone has a precise info on where they are located, would be helpful though. I downloaded the schematics under files in this forum, but I can't really find what I need.

Next question would be whether I should replace these relays or bypass them... and how would I do that? (I am not too bad at soldering)

Thanks again!
