Honestly I haven't found anything wrong with the audio section or any problems responding to the front panel or the remote. I should have confirmed the symptoms before I opened the unit up, did a visual check and re-seated all the connections.

Odd. Very odd. But if it's working, don't break it just to find out what went wrong

Hopefully I'll have some answers on Monday. We may have to take Paul (pgrzelak) up on his offer.

Well, Paul G, we've found out that the VFDs won't be in Australia until early December, so if you could ship your spare to Rob I'll pay for its replacement. Let me know how you want money (PayPal works fine for me) and we'll sort it out. As per my response in the VFD order thread, I'll also get a spare.

Thanks in advance,

Paul
