Help with Sound of Steam for 8304 engine and tender

Classic issue with those.  Top suspect is capacitors on the SOS board, followed closely by wiring issues.  They were also attached using foam with adhesive on it, and those have normally turned to dust and the board is rattling around loose inside the tender. I'd start by replacing the capacitors, electrolytic capacitors at 40 years old frequently die of old age.

You're right, the early SOS boards just did the hissing sound that was supposed to be steam.

I have a good working board available. 25.00 if interested, email me.

It used to list the member profile when you clicked the name.

On the tight hand side of the profile displayed.  This is from Chuck's profile, so I know it's there.  When I open that Extended Profile link, his email address is there as well.
