  Bob-O and others,

  Keeping in this vein, does anyone have a lead on a couple J51s or 48s? One 
of my clients insists on staying with an old system made up of 4 J51s on a 
Zomeworks 6 panel tracker.

  Gee, I wonder why they run their generator so much?

  Dave,
  I've had a small number of those J48s go hooey as well.
  Most of mine had a circular browning on the face of the module caused
  by the J-box. I assume that is where the string contacts failed.
  They make a nice coffee table or wall art, but aside from that....
  Good Luck, bob-O
