Greetings.
I have an older (1993) VF1. I had a small electrical problem with a blown tantalum capacitor (fixed) but now my cutter diameter and wear offset register has gone wild. There must have...

I have a 1991 VF1 and I just replaced a cooked capacitor on the CPU board. I didn't have any problems there but when I held my breath and rebooted, I lost all of my programs that were stored at the...

What kind of battery can I purchase (from Radio Shack for example) to replace the memory retention battery in my first generation VF-1? It hasn't died yet but I want to make sure I'm ready
