Its a pick and choose deal , I've been getting mine from suburban since the generics came out, installed approx 20 of them , two that I know of came back , the last one was last week and its been in set since last march , so I guess its 6 of one or half dozen of the other . If the original is NLA what other choice do we have , but if you use these don't just replace the block , be sure to invest a little time and replace those HV caps at the same time and resolder those hot connections , that way if it does go bad it don't take long to put in another block those ptk169 chasis are hard to beat for older setstgolds5559@xxxxxxxx Terry's TV & electronics 212 Bank ST Oak Harbor Ohio 43449 (419) 898-9641 ----- Original Message ----- From: "James M.
