Hi Folks,

New member here.

I am an avid tinkerer who likes to resurrect old tech. Unfortunately I only have a multimeter to test circuits. Have recapped and fixed an old valve radio to working order also a radiogram by pretty much by "shot gunning" capacitors. Please don't judge.

Also own a few old decent 70's/80's solid state amps that work but will need some repair soon.

Reason for joining is I need some advice on a large console television I have been gifted from a friend.

Anyway I'll post my questions in the correct thread.

Hope you guys can help. Or at least get some new pictures of the TV (beast) for your database.

Thanks ahead.
