Just an update.

The wiring & the screen appear to be fine. I completely dissassembled the
unit and found 2 watch type batteries, both dead flat, and both the original
batteries in a 12 year old instrument. 5 years seems to be their useful
life. I have a feeling that as a result the eproms contain no data!

Thanks for your help.

Nick.

Hi There,

I have a VP3E that is giving nonsense characters on startup. Have flicked
all switches to no avail. Anyone seen this before? Is there anyone left
that
can service Peschges stuff?

Nick.
