RE: [DML] Craig Radio Display Problem

["John Hervey" <john@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dan, I used to fix the displays all the time 2 to 3 years ago. I guess
people forgot. If you want to take it out I would wait till after the show
and I will fix it.$40.00 to rewire + freight and ins. I don't reuse the flat
ribbon cable. I have a different wire that is more flexible.

Subject: [DML] Craig Radio Display Problem

I'd like to fix the all too common problem with the "dissappearing 
digits" on the original and otherwise working Craig radio that I 
recently reinstalled into 1662 after 10 years or so sitting in a box in 
the closet.  For those who've done so before, is it usually just a case 
of resoldering the connections between the flat flex cable and the 
circuit boards (relatively easy), or does the actual flex cable itself 
tend to go bad and have to be completely removed and replaced (which 
I'm assuming would be much harder to do, not to mention sourcing a 
suitable replacement.)  I'd love a bit of advice from someone in the 
know before taking it back out of the car and opening it up.  I want to 
get the full display working again before going to the show in 
Celebration next month, but if the job will be too difficult I might 
just leave it as it is.
