Hi Perry, I just want to know what's wrong with them. If my repair load is = low I will amuse me in it more times than not. Too curious I suppose. Time = wise, it is probably not the best repair all the time. I repair to component = level just to make me happy. Also time wise, I suspect it costs more on some = than board replacement. Once I get it down to a fine science on what is going = to be wrong as a rule I catch up on the time investment.

I can fix that problem in 10 minutes with = the board. The time it takes me off another job will overtake the cheaper = repair price. Also, if you don't replace all parts the first time you could = spend more time trying to fix it. Don't need the headaches. It's in a PTV = anyway. Same price as some tuners and flybacks in tabletops, we have to replace them, I just count this as one of them. I will fix them one day, maybe, after the boards are no longer available. Then it will be worth my time.
