Hi
I am looking at an 8" LX200 classic that the owner says has popped a three legged device on the computer board. I hear tell the original power packs were a disaster and handsets and tantalums are all common issues, so i am worried i could be buying something even an old tech might not be able to fix. Moving it around by hand is unappealing!
Also is there a way to tell the age from the serial number 126731
It is a 24 hr drive away so checking before buying is a bit tricky!

Any words of wisdom, would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
