At lunch today, Nokes caught the tennis ball twice on the bounce.

Pengo PCB problem – Thick Yellow Horizontal Bars

Alex emailed me back and said that the board is not something he would work on. He gave me that name of someone else who might be able to, John Robertson. I emailed him, and he let me know that he could, but is two months behind on the boards he has to currently repair. So, I don’t think that is not a very good option.
