Here the game is almost over, Philips have a no repair warranty, Shop hands em
a new one, old in trash.
They are the first in the procession.
I can not fit heads, flyback transformers or do any major repair. The trade
here is in melt down, no training, no aprentices, no future. I am lucky my age
and my situation that it allows me the privilage of doing my thing. Others less
fortunate have their backs to the wall or are gone.
