Urgent Bulletin!  March 1st, 2018

All replacement parts for NDS Products, Inc. instruments must meet NDS (OEM) parts called out on circuit diagrams and parts lists. The use of non-authorized parts or so called replacement parts will void the warranty and can effect performance especially NTE parts. NTE102A cannot be used as a replacement for SK3004. It does not work and can cause improper power supply function. Anyone who has repaired using NTE parts should immediately replace using NDS Products, Inc. OEM parts.
