Hi, thanks for the heads-up about the lack of availability of the locking connector. You spoke of searching for the non-locking version. I m certainly

GREAT! Thanks. It s a pain to have to order one part, when you have everything else on hand. Holy crap, I just read about the Kiwisix, I hadn t heard of that

Any Zener of the correct voltage and the same or larger wattage will work. The one in the board looks to be 1/2W or less so use a 1/2W or greater replacement.

Hi, I am rebuilding a 367 board I got from Jed, and stuffing it right now. Going off his BOM it calls for a 3.9v Zener, specifically a BZX79-C3V9. I have a

You could quickly find out if your problem is the SSM2044 filter chip by swapping the one on the bad channel with another voice and see if the problem moves to

It is not known if it is an oscillator problem or one of the SSM chips with it on the voice board. It was fine for a long while with only a minor volume

Hi, I am afraid I cannot help you with the noise remotely. The Polysix is quite noisy. Most of it comes from the BBD circuits of the KLM-368 board. You might
