Its basicly the same Story if you pick the Replacement IC or Flyback for your Repair as a Generic one or an overstamp at half the Cost. You are increasing the Risk that it may cause more problems down the road for you. If you are willing to take that risk , then thats fine. As a Servicer, I like to do things in such a way they stay fixed for the Longest Duration possible. I always mention that to my customers when they are trying to low ball me on the price. If they pick the Cheapie Parts, and they come back with problems, I dont want to hear about it. All bets are off....as well as the warranty.

You need to look at the current rating, not the watts. I bought a good one (Allied) for less than $20. Apparently they can get away with lying about the wattage rating, but not the current rating. Just like cheap automotive stereos (100 Watts per channel [has only a 3A fuse] - yeh, sure!) -- Best regards, Bil Green 2001 TV VCR Mammoth Lakes, CA 93546 760-934-2001 mailto:tv.vcrrepair@xxxxxxxxxxx Monday, January 26, 2004, 11:00:24 AM, you wrote: TD> Theres alot more to it than that.
