DX100B Restoration

[Brian Carling]

Hey this sounds GREAT Jim...

I am keen to try most if not ALL of these mods here.
I dragged the DX100 out of the case today, and so far
I found that the 12BY7 is good so will start by checking the voltages 
and wiring to the crystal osc. Will look at all the PS voltages too.
I now have a shopping list to take to the store.

Will keep you all advised on the progress.
