Bob, that was not really a problem since my road tech, Damon, had pulled the chassis. I keep a CRT/yoke to use as a jig so we don't have to pull the whole set. Shipping also not a problem since I would have had to ship a dud if the board were still a stock item. Repairs don't always work out like they should for us either though. Hey, did you notice these really great thunder storms coming through? Gonna get busy soon! ******************************************************************************************************************* Since 1972 Jim Myers Telrad Electronics Fort Wayne, Indiana Gemini Computer & TV wrote: > Jim, > I believe you are correct as I have had to send NLA boards to Sony (such as > the "BR" boards for the KP53XBR200).
