It hurts when you think you're so close to fixing a $3500 
item.  But Harvey and even P-tek themselves have said similar.

I called Peter Forth at P-tek if he would sell me some 
facing components for the 151g.  He said the coaxial 
impedence transformers used 9 years ago are no longer used 
or stocked.

He also said, that with that kind of age, it's a shorter 
interval when something else will go wrong, just like a car 
as it gets older.

He said they don't repair them.  What they do is work you up 
a price to get that one out of the field and get you into a 
current production model.

Guess I have my answer.  Thanks all.

One pallet maker is making the 151g changeable with a 
phillips screwdriver clampdown arrangement:
