Jorge,
No problem!
After reading yopur post I did something I should have done to begin with
and went to the Andrews website and looked up your model # and lo and
behold....there it was.:
Manufacturer Philips
Part Number 7615
Description S/M 55P8288 (CD)
List $55.00
Price $45.00
Andrews can be reached at 1 661 257 7700.
I can order that manual OK and I'm certainly not an ASC for them.
Dont know why that would be an issue down there.
Must be a southern thing huh?!!
The site shows it as being in stock.
I would be willing to order it for you and have it drop shipped to your
address, credit card info willing, of course......
Contact me privately if you want to do something like that.
I'm at the shop today, all day, as usual.
Have a good weekend.
HTH

HI folks. I am sorry been so busy during these days I could not
answer till this moment.
JEFF: thanks very much for your info, unfortunately that is not exactly the
problem with that set, the audio is OK all the time, it just shuts down
above a certain beam current, which is well within normal boundaries.
DAMON, I am sorry I can not fix a cheap $1.000 Philips set for
$800 or $700, only a few customers would commit such a suicide...
I feel ok fixing at component level, and *GLENN*: appreciate your
suggestions, they sound highly reasonable...I DO CARRY lightboxes
and boards and whatever with me when necessary, in extreme
cases I carry the whole set, but NOT ALWAYS. Have no problems with
customers (except for a few ones I won't tell where they are from),
90% usually appreciate very much to have their sets repaired
at home within an hour or two, three in the worst cases, EXCEPT, of
course, for the dogs!!! Those I carry the boards to the workshop, but
in this particular case EITHER I FIX IT AT THE CUSTOMER'S PLACE
OR I CARRY PART OR THE WHOLE SET TO THE WORKSHOP, I need
the service manual badly and I am afraid if I do not get in touch
with the customer by monday or tuesday I will lose him....
When I was younger, back in the 70's and 80's, I used to hate
working at the customer's, to such extent that I quit service calls
for a long time and even migrated from the tv business to telecomunications
and other branches within electronics for quite a while.
For reasons absolutely out of this mailing list's scope, I had to re-start
my life from scratch a few years ago, including 2nd marriage, and when
I say scratch I mean ZERO level, and I discovered it was not only possible
but highly appreciated by the customers fixing their sets at their place.
I just got used to it and then I am running a 1 man ...... and 1 woman
mobile service (my wife helps me a LOT). Of course, being 56 years
young, I have a lot to learn ahead, and I self-tweak almost daily, who
knows, I might find a CHEAP source for NAP boards and save myself
a thousand headaches, and so on... I am open to all reasonable
suggestions, I am not afraid at all to say "I was wrong" and change
certain procedures when I find better ones...
I hope you have not taken my former post too seriously, in fact, it
was a little bit too ironic, written in a light but rather acid (????) mood.
The most serious part of it is that I NEED THOSE SCHEMATICS BADLY
and I am not a Philips ASC and do not have any means to acces them
unless someone sells them to me. I used to get them from
Electrotex, but they went out of bussines 1 year ago, and in this
particular case, the service manual CD seems to be on back order
through the whole Milky Way, to say the least (not even servicemanuals.net
has it) I wish someone could help me with a print of the xray protection /
abl
circuit or have the schematics for sell or lease or whatever.
I also wish all the manufacturers were so technician-friendly as Hitachi
is!!!!!
Thank you very much guys, you all, you have a great sunday.
Jorge
PD Customers do remember me, especially when they have to fix
another set, or a friend or relative needs a tv repair....
