SAFETY WARNING GUYS !! VESTEL PSU'S

(1/3) > >>

Don't know if this has been mentioned before in the forums but Vestels using a slightly cheaper and much nastier version of their PSU in some non branded sets the one I've got here is 17PW22-4 now I'm not sure if this is a common fault on them as I've had a few now do the same or if it's a design flaw.
The smoother block caps 2 of them on the left hand side of the primary both 68Uf at 400v don't seem to have a discharge resistor fitted and hold their charge for days and as I found can give you a bloody sore skelp !
I suppose we've all got a wee bit blase' on the vestel PSU's just expecting them to discharge but on these you really need to manually discharge it to save you a nasty reminder !

Hi,

True too of some Vestel 17IPS boards, still with tube tellies with no/or crap discharge resistors, after hefty  sets that irradiated our underpants early 60s, wonder we survived.

Hi Dave - note you still live that telly basher life - well impressed - Chris
