When I was a kid, you could go to a drug store or, of course, Radio Shack, and purchase tubes and capacitors and such, and it wasn't uncommon for people to try to fix their own console television. <br /><br />You, sir, are an artisan!Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04752379587655151211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10869513.post-5000803919144795932012-11-09T22:01:16.452-06:002012-11-09T22:01:16.452-06:00I know what you mean, Alan.

With no way to remove the old solder I decided to plow ahead anyway just because it was the only time I had free, and luckily the drill idea came and my brother had the perfect bits for the job. The best part was that he knew where they were located. <br />Still running fine, so it looks like a good fix. What I like best is knowing what I did, unlike the "faith healing" repairs I usually do where I don't replace anything--just poke and prod stuff. Kinda like how my truck got fixed recently.

And since it belonged to my employer and I no longer have access to it, that means I would not have attempted to fix this myself.AlanDPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00910363728370240226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10869513.post-27256862896308577412012-11-09T00:13:48.982-06:002012-11-09T00:13:48.982-06:00Don't be fooled--I'm only getting paragrap...Don't be fooled--I'm only getting paragraph breaks by inserting some code I copied from an editing session.Keith Alan Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02240947048783657561noreply@blogger.com
