Doug, Do you have a dead WG6100 board? I'm needing the Horizintal Driver
Transformer (T901).

As far as I can tell the boards look complete [when compared to my two working board sets] and I have done the usual examination of the interconnect cable and the connectors on both PCBs.

Is there any recommended reading as to where to start with these boards or do any of you guys have some places I should start?
