[TenTec] Omni VI Logic board

[Mike Bryce]

did you see the service receipt from ten tec? Generally the tech will jot down notes about why this rig was un-repairable. 

could be a pointer in the direction of troubleshooting

for example, if the main cpu is fubar, then there's nothing much you 're going to do fix the radio unless you can find another chip

and from my experience, the only way to fix bad chips is with a good bean dip!

sorry...

The radio is a 9 out of 10 as far as cosmetics inside and out so nothing spilled, no arc markings or abuse evident.  There was a repair attempt by someone and the work was decent...no board damage or hackory....:-)
