I was just putting everything back together again to put the empeg back in my car and when I finished putting the tuner PCB back in it's casing I couldn't resist a try. And just to piss my nuts off, guess what? It worked for 2-3 minutes, only to fade to silence again. Argh! And also the fade out thing's got me thinking maybe it's a capacitor problem.

Well the bottom line is still the same. Get a complete tuner from Patrick (there is only so much time a man can live without his tuner) and should he be available forward this one to him for fixing.
