Hi David hope you are feeling better why dont you change the electro cap in the relay circuit .I see other sets with that trouble should be easy to trace..Eric E M Electronics Deer Lake NL Canada tvman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx eric.manuel@xxxxxxxxx ----- Original Message ----- From: "David" <mr_fixit@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, January 12, 2005 4:21 PM Subject: [TechAssist] Sony - TV - KV-2063 - Buzzing Relay > Long time no talk techs!
