Hi Shaun

Some sets don't have a separate T-con PCB, part of the circuit will be on the SSB and part on the PCB attached to the screen.

T-con is listed as a spare so it must be there somewhere, unless someone has removed it previously!

Wasn't there an Orion/sharp that the ribbons plugged into the signal board which incorporated the tcon ?

[t1412]

just strange there's a place where the tcon sits and you can buy spares thanks

Only surmising here but with manufacturers constant drive to reduce build costs it could well be the early version had a tcon but was replaced with a later which had it incorporated. This would leave them with a load of light trays to use up !
