Hello Gordon,

Thanks very much for the potential offer of a potentiometer. - But I
must wish you well in resurrecting your TR-626: there's nothing
quite like the satisfaction of bringing old gear back to life.

However, if your repairs don't work out as planned, then I may be
interested in discussing the offer further.

It's also good to hear that Chipforbrains is a decent trader since I
may well buy some parts from him in the future.

MDA231.
