Can't seem to find a 10 opto board for a twilight zone anywhere. Every site I have found says the same thing "out of stock". Anyone have a lead on one? Thanks.

GLM is the finest of folks for sure.

I've always said if you really only do 1 mod to your TZ, out of the 900000, even if you're not into modding, it should be the powerfield switch kit. It's just so damn pretty.

Looks like I will have to get in touch with him via e mail. Thanks for your input. I hadn't seen the power field switch kit. Looks like I'm gonna need that also. Thanks again.

If your opto board isn't working, look for corrosion around the 100 uF capacitor. My board would intermittently show all optos going open and start going crazy. Replacing the capacitor and repairing the traces was a perfect fix.

I haven't had a chance to look for corrosion or burnt spots. I wanted the new one also because I read that they produced something like 65% less heat. I will check the 100 if capacitor though. Thank you.

Could not agree more. A bit of soldering but well worth it.

Revolutionary technology that reduces power consumption by over 65%

And the GLM has leds, green and red, to pinpoint dead transmitting and receiving optos. It really is great. I got all of GLM's stuff on my TZ.

Is the 10 opto switch board different than the 10 opto one on IJ? I have an extra that would only be 50$ tested working and looks great with no hacks or repair.

A 10 opto board on both should be same part.
