Hi Tom,
That was the conclusion I'd come to. At least I don't have anything pending where I will be held up while the probe is out for service.
I hope everyone else's 2020 ends on a higher note than mine is!
cheers,
Michael

Re: DP4 connector help
Should I pull with the two red dots aligned? I'm pulling as hard as I can (bare hands, no pliers, stylus removed for safety) and it doesn't budge, whether the dots are aligned or not.

Re: Tree Journeyman 425 mill retrofit
I've put Centroid controls on a 325 and my current 425. I suspect your 425 is older than mine as it has two cabinets instead of only one on the back.
