Thomas, if you don't, it's quite possible someone with a bit of experience
with a soldering iron can fix. I am writing up a website on it, but have
not completed it pending some work with the pix I took.

There's a lot of stuff that's searchable on the 1010 and capacitors. Caps
usually fail visibly, so look for the ones on the lower circuit board that
might look burned or as if they'd leaked.

I've fixed 2 1010s with bad caps so far, so don't give up on the unit just
yet! I'll see if I can't get the photos soon to finish up that writeup, and
the one on connecting 2 1010s together.
