a pity Mike
the Bavaria board is a real beauty and highly valued by collectors the world
over..

but i guess in every batch some lemons get through
Mephisto boards and computers are generally highly reliable and even today most
work free from defect

the older Fidelity computers are all now starting to show up with high defect
rates(Dead Reed switches ,eprom deletions,etc,etc,)

i know i have several Fidelity computers that are now defective
in fact,every time i take an oldie out of the box to play i do so with extreme
caution and white knuckled caution because i dont know if it will work or not
