Reply to "Replacing Bulging Capacitors On early 5 Volt Boards"

Of course they will.  They are just out of stock right now.  Everything board wise goes to new product first.  The PS-32 is in the upgrade kit for steam.  PS-3 diesel is in the upgrade for diesel.  PS-3 steam is in new production.  Up until this week I had all versions of the boards in stock but they were expended over the course of the year for repairs.  I do have 5 steam upgrade kits left.  Your just getting back to this, but this ebb and flow of parts alway occurred.  But it may ramp up between Covid, inflation, and now political warfare along with a real war in europe.  Toy trains are on the bottom of a priority for an electronic manufacturer making the boards.  I get it though; your disappointed and can't get immediate satisfaction. 1 month ago and you could have from me and probably a few other techs.  The reason PS-2 is gone is obsolete parts to make the board.  Infact even common repair chips are harder to get and on end of life cycle.  PS-3 was made because PS-2 could no longer be made.  They made PS-32 specifically as a replacement repair part for PS-2.  G
