Hi tvrepairbod,
Suspect you are taking this repair business rather too seriously - What with hardly any manuals/shematics, poor spares situation, and too few green guys who try mending anything, some mild humour seems to be a requirement for continued sanity. (curently know of no worthwhile lives lost)
Checking on the bright side - again - Chris.
P.S. any thoughts on those cremated bits - still have one, on the pile.
