[SignalOne] CX-7A repairs

[Ron.K3PID]

Congratulations Rodger! FB on the CX-7A restoration. The readout board in my CX-7A has been a source of trouble since I got it about 15 years ago. I thought about replacing it with a "modern" 7 segment LED readout but haven't worked up enough frustration to tear into it. It has been my experience ( for what it's worth ) that the nixie tubes are pretty reliable but the driver IC ( SN7441AN) isn't. I've also had problems with the circuit board. It doesn't handle multiple solder/desolder jobs and the trace peels right off...

73 es GUD LUCK
