6116 a drop in replacement? I ddint have any 2114L in stock so I pulled
one off of the flaky control board from the Space Fury. Ether way Ill
need to buy something, so if a 6116 is the way to go, now is the time
before I place an order. Bob Robert sells AM91L14CDC as replacements for
the 2114L. Any experience with these?
