[QUOTE="Llew, post: 919738, member: 175007"] Bad news concerning my SL3 -01 version. Getting ready to do some mods on it, I ran into a problem removing the casting over the PCB: two of the screws refused to budge, so I was forced to drill them out. Not wanting to drill right down towards the PCB, I had to leave a tiny amount of the screw head still intact, hoping I could easily remove the casting with a little leverage. No go, so I drilled the remaining part of the heads down a fraction more. Luckily I was able to remove it now, but I think as the casting still offered some resistance, I reckon it caused the PCB to warp very slightly. Possibly a hairline crack somewhere on the board, as there's no output apart from masses of spikes across the spectrum. I will need to do a detailed visual check over the PCB, but happily in the meantime I still have my SL3 -03 in good order. [/QUOTE]
