Thanks for all the replies so far. As you might have guessed, school has thaught me little or nothing (i skipped al "tv technique" lessons and learned it from a couple of books i had). By now, i'm beginning to know the sets i mostly work on pretty good (thomson ICC5...ICC20), but that's because i have the schems... Well, I'll learn... thing is, my dad was going to teach it to me after my studies (he had a lot of experience and was very good at all sorts of repairs) but he passed away before i graduated. So now i'm continuing business at home, only with what i know from school... Thanks for the help!
