OK, so it appears there is very little to discuss on this group in areas
like repairing audio components, amps, receivers, power supplies, etc these
days.

I "tune in" here almost daily and rarely find anything of interest to me.

Maybe we could share some "war stories" of cool repairs we have done in the
past.

Re-live some past glories?

The first time you traced down a bad reset line for a microprocessor?

That integrated amp that blew a channel about once a year until you caught
that bias diode occasionally opening up?

Sansui 5000A's? (yuck)

Crappy Euro caps in Tandberg tape decks?

Those times you sweated whether you could even get this thing put back
together?

Any more recent successs stories to brag about?

C'mon, don't we all enjoy patting ourselves on the back, really?

A very distant fellow band member of mine once confided in me that he one
day discovered his next door neighbour had the same television that he had.
He had many hours of glee from sneaking up to their window and randomly
firing his remote control at their TV.


He also ended up being prosecuted for stealing commission cheques meant to
be mailed to our management company.

Not a particularly nice bloke.
