You can also have it fixed by a nearby forum member that does repairs. I'm in Texas, but surely there's a hardware handy member near you.
Call me a cheap bastard... I learned to fix things to save money... even surface mount soldering...

Ack! Sorry I didn't get back to you. I've been a little more scatterbrained than usual this past week. Burning the candle at both ends and all that. I'll respond to your PM momentarily.
In the end it will be as if nothing ever happened.

Though he's all the way in Washington State, Ray Carlsen does repair on most Commodores, including the VIC-20. His repair work is outstanding.

No, he isn't. However, he does have a website (as Ray likes to say, the only website in the world devoted only to Commodore repair). Go to

http://personalpages.tds.net/~rcarlsen/

His e-mail address is right there on the first page. :)

Visiting Ray in March with a load of C= to repair,
