[TenTec] Ten Tec Corsair display problem- help needed

[CSM(r) Gary Huber]

I know this may not much help, but I did have a similar problem with my Corsair II except it was limited to the display board.  I was able to get all the small parts, I think they were Q1-Q6 (MPS-6514) of the 81248 board from Ten-Tec and a young lady at work replaced them for me.  My Corsair II display is still working great and it must be at least ten years since the repair.
73 es DX,
