[RE-wrenches] Trace non-volatile memory after market

[Allan Sindelar]

boB,
Yeah, that's kind of my take on it. By now, if it was going to show a
failure, it would have already done so. I haven't seen a rash of failures
showing up in these older units that's simply attributable to age.

(The trick: the very first SWs had ten hex-head cover screws on the back,
meaning that to remove the cover for any service, the unit had to come off
the wall. Trace soon discontinued that overengineered redundance, and once
removed the screws could be left off, as they didn't serve a needed purpose.
This unit still has all its screws intact. I'm not sure that I can say the
same about myself, or maybe you either...)

Allan, that unit is so well "Burnt in", you could almost sell it as 
"Mil-Spec" !
