Thank you gunrunnerjohn. I'm a big MTH fan. In my opinion an "explanation" is in order. Are we to expect that all electronics are going to expire or fail within a 2 year period? 5 years? 10 years? I appreciate the facts stated here about bad components on Ps2/5 volt boards. That's an explanation I can understand. New replacement boards are relatively expensive in relation to the cost of the engine. I respect your opinion, while I believe there should be a better path to longevity, I'm not sure what that would look like. I am reluctant to buy Ps2/5volt engines and new Ps3 engines as they also seem to have a high failure rate.
Again thanks to gunruinnerjohn and all for your feedback and explanations. We all benefit from the OGR forum.
