I picked up one of those untested no cables auctions off of ebay last week and U38 reg1 and the cap near U38 were toast. I ordered the parts from Moser electronics and they arrived today. I already have the old chips off and just needed to solder the new ones down to the board. Well I consider myself lucky considering this is the first time I have done any fine soldering like this before, but after all is said and done it worked :D. Thank God for all the information on the internet and the posts on here about getting the proper chips. I guess I saved a Jaguar from the scrap heap.. :D
Regards
Jim

how much was it in all (the chips, etc.)? Also, I remember having the info bookmarked, but don't have it anymore, so I second the request for posting the links on the repair info.
