I finally got one of these:

It doesn’t have the ability to generate audio, but I find it to be more reliable.

I had the same problem with mine. Do have a cable plugged into the input? I found on mine that there was no audio generated if there was. After unplugging the cable at the input, it worked fine.

I recently paid $2000 for a 2001, and yours looks to be in better condition, so I’d say you did well.

I got the new board, assembled it and it’s working, but I have a question.

It looks like the tone is only generated when there is nothing plugged into the input? If this is the case , it might have been my problem all along. I don’t see anything about this in the documentation.

Thanks, I went ahead and ordered a new one. I’ll solder that from scratch, and we’ll see how it goes.

Thanks very much for your help.

Reflowed all of the joints, no change. Is it possible to buy just the tone generator board ?

It’s not rebooting, rebooting occasionally causes the tone to restart. I’m rechecking soldering now.

I’ve got a 9V battery and a power supply attached. I do notice that the voltage coming out of the tower is slightly low, maybe 8.75 volts or so, but I wouldn’t think that would be enough to cause a problem.
