Emax

Hello,

I'm getting my Emax II rack checked over to see if the power supply, and output board can 
be fixed.....I totally agree with what your saying, it would be such a shame to scrap it, but 
if it's going to cost £200 - £300 to get fixed, it really wouldn't be worth doing, as I can 
pick-up a fully working Emax II rack for £150 - £200.
I'll let you know how I get on.

Very best wishes for the New Year!!
