Jim, I agree with you the #185197 is the right way to go, haven't had a return using the #185197. Although I repair alot of Thomson products, I'm not a ASC for Thomson and would like to know if anyone knows why TP15 runs so hot in standby?(this is where it takes its abuse) Is there a cure, or is it just another engineering marvel by Thomson? I can't believe these transisters last as long as they do, as hot as they get in standby!
