4. The introduction of alternative components for R24 and R27 is essential. At the same time C67
replaces D14 and R73 is added.
5. Issue 2 boards fitted with the Type 5C112 ULA have either a transistor (TR6) or diode/resistor
modification (see Issue 2 circuit diagram for details).
6. On Issue 3 boards only crystal X2 must have a close tolerance specification (ie 10ppm absolute,
10ppm 20C to 60C, 5ppm per year.)
7. On Issue 3B boards, the dc converter design has improved reliability. R60 is changed from 270R
to 68R and C49 is changed from 47nF to 560pF. Capacitor C77 (100nF) has been added.
8.3 GENERAL CAPACITOR CHANGE
Early Issue 2 units were manufactured using a considerable number of 47nF and 100nF disc capacitors.
Where these occur, the service engineer should take the opportunity to replace C41 and C49 with axial
types.
