[Jukebox-list] "PRO" help-was- WSR5 receiver

[Oregon Jukebox]

It's always "something simple" I have more than once told customers (when I
was in the business, now I do the same thing for heavy equipment) "Of course
it's something simple to fix... now... you tell me which one of several
hundred simple things do I need to fix?"

Thar she blows....
