Well, its days are numbered. How many OTHER bad feedthroughs are
lurking in there? Geez, if all the chips are socketed, it is a miracle
it still works at all. Most of this old stuff, the MTBF starts to head
down faster and faster.
I had an Allen-Bradley 7320 control that started to have a lot of
failures, and I was SURE glad to retrofit it with something more
maintainable.
