- I've had 3 7171's for 7-8 years now. I had a number of TC card
- failuresat first, but it seemed like a board rev. fixed that. We still
- loose a TC card every once in a while due to lightning. Our technician
- usually fixes them as it is almost always a line driver IC that fails.
- We have never lost a power supply that I know of. We do our own
- maintenance.
