Hi folks,

Have one of these that fell off the mantlepiece - screen appears unbroken but back-light goes out after a few seconds, sound OK.

First thought was a broken tube but set doesn't tinkle when shaken.

Is there a simple (hopefully cheap) way of testing tubes in situ  ?

Many thanks - Chris.

 Hi Chris, I'll be watching this one with interest!! Must be some way to utilise an old inverter. Doug

I'm going to buy one in the morning. For £4.99 it's a 'must have'

Hi Sparky,

Was first thinking £69 + at Wilts, then £24.99 on Ebay for a home made version. Your Maplin jobby saves quite a few pounds - now to make up some leads -

Thanks again - Chris.
