Speak for yourself. I have never had recalls on the older ones and I have to do most in the homes as they are usually consoles.....take that back, I had one recall for a different problem. If you call repairing bad solder connections 'shotgunning' then yes, I do a lot if shotgunning.

Either you have the talent and expertesize to repair it or you don't. I have seen that a lot hear, I call it shotgunning, not troubleshooting. Mr. R. L.

I would go for it...just touch up the solder when you're done with it.

I think it would be a waste of time and money, but the customer is adamant about repairing it. WinStips indicates that it is similar to a Pioneer SD-P401. There aren't many case histories on either. Question is, Would any of you even try on this set?? Thanks Walter ===== Walter Wood Future Tech Home Center 2786 Hwy. 43 N.
