I have a Sharp cash register XE-A106. During a lengthy print, about every 5 to 10 seconds, the display blanks and the printer pauses for a couple seco nds. (If it was alive, it would be like it was pausing to catch it's breath ) It does not loose memory and it picks up where it left off. The 6v regula tor is steady and the 15.4v drops to just above 15 while printing. I'm gues sing this is not the issue. Does anyone know of a common problem like a lea ky capacitor or another part that would cause this problem.
I know you can get a new one for around $100 and a repair manual from Sharp for $25. I hate to put too much into it, but I hate to junk it if it is a minor repair.
Thanks
Bill
