    Thorens TD165 advice

    Also got another cartridge (Shure V15 type II) lying around but it too doesn't have a working stylus so I am unable to test the deck. Had a look underneath, cable is still connected and the mechanism all looks correct. If you move the pin physically up you can drop it but it wont go back up...

I will take some pics and upload...

    LG Plasma gone mental

    ok so after eyeballing everything something caught my eye.. most of the caps are dusty except one, which is half dusty, seems it may be leaking. C84, with a torch it looks like a waxy trail below it on the PCB Edit: picture taken sideways, the bottom of the TV is the aluminium heatsinks

    Correct, colder it was, the more green pixels at initial turn on. No one got a CT (preferably northen suburbs) reputable TV repair person who will give me the yay or nay

    LG Plasma gone mental

    I have an old LG plasma tv, one that only has RGB/DVI, no HDMI. Its perfect for me as I use it with my HTPC outputting at 720p. Dont have DSTV and never watch SABC (dont even own an aerial). Was watching something, turned it off, went to tinker in the garage for a bit. Came back, turned it on...
