[R-1051] Fwd: any RT618 experts out there?

Well I have a suggestion if you still have the RT618.
The cables are indeed rare and maybe impossible to find.
Sooo here is what I did some 20 years ago and its still working this way.
OK for the purests stop reading now.

I simply went inside with a multi-conductor cable and supplied the 5 or 6
voltages needed.
I leave the unit slightly open in the front for the cable to drop out to a
home made supply.
It really is a small effort to make the RT618 operational.
No hacking to the case. Seriously works and sure beats a boat anchor on the
floor.

Now everyone knows stay clear of this guy. Good luck.
Regards
Paul.
