[TenTec] Fw: Corsair II UV EPROM failure

[Jerry Haigwood]

Well, after further review, the display board is larger than the small panel 
size my board house has the best deal on.  So, I would have to get a quote 
on the actual size of the board.  It would cost more but I am not sure how 
much more.  I can get a quote and let people know.
