Hi Bakis,

I'm glad yours G6's en G3's are in perfect working order.
I know you have a lot invested, but the amount I have
invested is a huge amount for me too!!!

I was so glad I got a new case (third one) and it
functions with and without the  4 new modules in it.
And then the first case (first one I bought approx. 4 years
ago; I lost a bit track of time after all those years) breaks
down all of a sudden!!! 
I wonder what's a normal duration of T100ma fuse? 
Sadly, it wasn't the fuse, cause then I could have installed
a new fuse and all was well again! But 2 new fuses of the same
ma I've tried immediately blew! 
So I'm wondering what the hell is wrong here???
This means I have too send 2 cases to Utrecht!
It's a real burden!
