Kevin,
That statement astounds me. There is no more common failure than the
CR4118 on the 169. Have a (cheap) friend in the business who uses
"pulls" from other chassis to fix sets-- and wonders why he can't fix a
169.
I agree with Perry. We change CR4118 in EVERY 169 that comes in the
shop.
Oh, yes, it is on the 15v line.
