Hello everyone,

I obtained a Sams for the set and dropped the chassis last night. Everything looked pretty clean except for two areas:

Someone did work to the horizontal AFC network, which is one of those all-in-one pc chips that look like a wide orange-drop cap with 5 leads (forgive me - I don't know the proper name for these.) They must have used a pretty hot iron, as heat blackened the board and cooked the insulation on a couple of wires. My question is: is there a good source for these chips, or are they made of unobtanium? Also, was there a reason other than convenience that the resistors and caps were integrated into the single chip?

Ryan
