OK, this happened the other day. Channel 1 went dead on my K200B-5. I have a Kasino Club that's functioning but has some hum in it. According to ChicagoBill, the channel board is theoretically the same between the two units so I could yank a board from the Club and put it in place of the Channel 1 board (barring mounting issues). This would just be a board swap and shouldn't be a major adventure.

However, what are the chances that the hum I'm getting on the Club is from something on the channel boards and I'd only end up trading a bad board for a bad board and wind up having to yank it out and repair the thing anyway? I don't use the Club for anything, so parting it out isn't going to affect my life in any meaningful manner.

So, would I be better off repairing the existing Channel 1 board on the K200B-5 (with some help from the gurus here!) or should I roll the dice and just do the board swap? I think I'm capable of doing either. I know how to solder, have a digital multimeter, know a transistor from the pinion gear on a '57 Dodge station wagon and can read and comprehend a fair amount of the english language.

All advice is welcome and appreciated.
