Re: Unraveling the Star Wars harness

I have to admit I am in over my head with this stuff. I'm a designer and
builder of machines, I have some pretty decent projects under my belt, but
my weakness is all of this circuit level stuff, I just don't have the
background/experience for it.

Does anyone on this list do repair/rebuild work jobs for others? I may need
to know my limits on this and send these boards to a jedi master
