1503C

On inspection of a pristine 1503C, I found two faults:

  • LCD "bleeding". I'll investigate further - I fear "rot" but it's not showing in the panel when switched off.
  • Crumbling compliant plastic in the sealed power transfer plug/socket on the rear of the case.

Two faults waiting to happen are the SLA battery and Lithium cell which were as installed in 1992.
