Buly,
I was preparing to ship your EC2 & EM2 back after repairs when I noticed the 
EC2 control panel in the bottom of the box you sent.   I normally don't need 
this when repairing EC2s but yours turned out to be an exception.  I noticed 
what I thought to be more shipping damage.  The connector was bent down at a 
considerable angle.  On closer observation it was apparent that this was an 
intentional modification as the solder connections had been reheated and the 
connector solder pins bent down while pulling them  out of the board.  The 
solder connections had been re-soldered.   During this process a couple of 
the connections were broken.  This caused several of the programming modes 
to be disabled and even worse, the Mode selected on the thumbwheel switch 
was not always what was actually being programmed.   To say the least, this 
is a formula for disaster.

Don't do this to my babies!  If it won't fit in the location you are trying 
to fit it in, find another location or modify the location, NOT THE EC2!

I'll try to get this fixed before leaving next Tuesday but it'll be close.  
No promises though.

Tracy
