Guenther,
I had a similar problem with my Centurion when I purchased it used
several years ago. What I found was that Ten Tec had three versions of
the board you describe below. The earlier two versions appeared to be
prone to failure. The latest version I am now using has worked well for
several years now. I would suggest that you send paper mail to TT
requesting that they send you the schematic of the latest version if you
are building it yourself (or purchase the board).
