> The first 4 times I played it for weeks and found

> A few weeks ago he said that the set was not

> I agreed, and found that it had sound but no

> Using the old NE2 neon bulb trick, I could detect

> No ammount of beating, twisting, or pushing would

> The set is now back in the shop and It WORKS.
> No, there is nothing wrong with the customers
> voltage, checked that while the set wasn't
