Can anyone recommend a technician in the U.S. who specializes in Emulator repairs?  My EIII has a couple of control panel issues that are beyond my ability to repair.

Hi Deft and Tony!  Thank you for your interest in my post!  Unfortunately, I have not gotten my EIII repaired.  As I recall, the sliders do not work fully and one of the front panel LEDS does not light.  I've successfully done a fair amount of work to the unit, but replacing the ribbon cable between the front panel and the rest of the unit was a bridge too far for me.  I imagine it won't be a huge repair job, but there is obviously something I don't understand about how the ribbon connects and/or my solder skills suck!

Any suggestions?

Hi there!

1 which LED is exactly not working?
2 as for sliders:
a) the easy way is to recalibrate EIII - in master section
b) second - check the power connector and cables and voltage on the top left connector of card cartridge
c) and the hard part if there is a faulty ICs on ADC board.
Btw, does the wheels work?

Good luck!
