Thanks for the Flame Jimmy, That is the obvious choice that the gent in
Canada will ultimately choose, (that is why the choice of "may", not will
absolutely!!) . If you read the intent of the post you will notice the
mention of age (regarding the manufacturer of the set). Obviously I do agree
the cheap transformer, properly installed, if that is the only problem, may
suffice to repair the tele.
BTW: IMHO the original affect of this N/G is to assist others in their quest
of information regarding repairing electronic devices, True?
To also allow them the freedom of choice once the information is presented
to them, with all the possible ramifications considered. Cheers Mate

IMHO if the tele is more than 5 years old it may be less expensive to
actually trash it and purchase new.


How is $30 more expensive than buying a new TV? There's some time involved
but for a hobbyist the repair can be enjoyable and it's one less TV in the
landfill. The whole purpose of this group is to *repair* things afterall.
