Re: [TenTec] Centurion 422 Trouble Shooting

I had a failure of a couple of ICs in my Centurion a few years ago.  I could 
only guess that it was some kind of power line transient.  Replaced them and 
that fixed it.  But we live in a lightning prone area, so I also added a 220V 
surge protector into the AC line.  You can find these on line for around $65.  
They're worth it.  I also added a 6V zener diode on the 5V supply line driving 
the ICs to clamp any voltage spikes.  No problems since then.
