All, after looking carefully at all the posts for PS3 upgrades I have decided that this is not for me. I know there are a lot of people on this board who do upgrades, but can anyone recommend someone in the Northern CA area? Yes experience and quality beat out a low price. So far the the three people I know on this board are located on the East Coast, i think if I read their profiles right. if at all possible I would rather not have to send my trains clear across the country and back, but if that is my only option I will. Once again Quality beats a cheap price. I have three that I will need to upgrade, Conrail GG1 P/S 1 20-5502-1 Conrail E33 P/S 1 20-5509-1 and Conrail SD80 P/S1 20-2190-1. I know these work and are in excellent shape so no It will not be cheaper for me to sell these, go through the hassle of purchasing one with P/S 2 or greater only to find it does not work as advertised, haggle with the seller, be accused that I swapped out the units, get the CC involved, send it back, wait for refund. Been there done that, I only have one T-shirt in that size and I don't want anymore. My e-mail is in my profile. Also what is the average rate for the entire upgrade? Parts and labor? I really like running in CC and these are the three that I would like to run. I have a whole bunch of PW Lionel and some other P/S1 conventional but those are not worth the price to upgrade and really are for display only. Thanks!
