Big unit triage:

  • Ion pump loose => was causing the rattling
  • Order new NiMH cells to rebuild battery pack
    • Original: 5P2S w/ NiCd (6V)
  • Window fell off => needs reglue


Pots are just voltage dividers:

  • CCW => more negative (increase magnitude / decrease voltage)
  • 1 => 100x

  • B => 8

  • D => 15


Pot D is responding...wasn't it not last time? Looks unstable though. Might need some repair

2022-12-10

Got second controller

  • MMVI-DPP2
  • S/N SNTUS-184-1325
  • Has "SYNC" and "GATE" connectors, removed PARALLEL connector

Initial state of

  • A: 0.00 V
