Damon, and if it fails ten days after you return the set you have a
pissed off
customer who doesn`t believe you when you tell him it`s a different
problem,
"set was dead when you picked it up, set is dead again" you didn`t fix
it right.
How many times have we heard that one from a customer????? Makes more
sense to replace it the first time around and keep a customer then to
lose that customer doesn`t it ? Just my 2 cents, Larry E

Why NOT replace it,to avoid Returns ???
- Peggs
Because by measuring the actual voltage on the diode, I can get a 2nd
repair about 9 - 12 months later, out of warranty. Orrrrrr I can replace
it now and avoid that callback......just depends on the actual voltage I
see on my meter.....if it's 13 Volts or higher I don't touch it.
You know, that's like taking your car in for a radiator repair and the
guy
there throws in a battery because he knows it's going to fail.....and
charges you for it.....

It's a $1 part.
It fails frequently.

I was doing that but after a few returns a month later after the
original repair I started replacing that diode automatically to avoid
wasting time with returns. I hate the 169 and the less time on the bench
with one the better.

Actually I monitor CR4118's voltage to determine whether it needs
replaced or not.
14 volts -OK
12 Volts - Replace
10 Volts - Bad
and there's a big wide replace area with skinny -OK / Bad sections if
you
want to make a meter out of it....;-)
Yes replacing CR4118 will cover a multitude of
problems/intermittants.

Please put Make, Model (or Chassis), and Problem in subject line. Then
email
can be filed Automatically, Thanks. CR4118 should go without saying.
Of
course it will fix intermittent operation. That is the first part we
change
on all CTC169's regardless of customers problem. I would think all
shops
would change this on all CTC169 repairs, we do, don't we?

Don't know if this will cure it but it has been recommended by many
techs to replace CR4118 (RCA # 164590 or FR302 generic)in every CTC169
that comes into the shop, whether it appears to be OK or not. This
diode
causes a lot of strange symptoms.
