3 months ago, during a thunderstorm, I was rushing around shutting down & unplugging everything in sight, but when I got to the PF-R, it was "lit up like a Christmas tree", meaning, all the front panel lights. Totally dis-functional.Sent it off to C-J last June, & a couple of months later Ed called me & said it was "fried", but I couldn't get any more info than that, until they finally sent it back, & the (non) repair slip said: "All digital IC's are blown, not worth repairing".
I have almost no tech expertise at all, so....the only thing I could do might be to find a local repair shop, & pay more $$, on the off chance C-J doesn't know how to diagnose their own components.
Suggestions? Try to sell it as is for parts? The faceplate & the cabinet are in just about perfect condition.
TIA for any suggestions.....
