Repair on that VC1540 is just about the same as on the 1541 - 1540
has the "long board" that is no integrated logic array all discrete
logic ic's this should be easy to trouble shoot with an O'scope or
logic probe. What does they guy say is wrong with it (assuming he
remembers)? There are several very common problems that I can help
diagnose given the symptoms.
