It was just a case of doing the first one and understanding their peculiar little ways.

I found that I got a lot of Sony sets in as trade repairs from other dealers once the word got out that I was happy to repair them.

I liked to work on something which was a bit different from the run of the mill Philips, Fergusons and so on.

I cut my teeth on larger Sonys when I worked in industrial training. After sorting out large screen sets and Umatic VCRs the smaller ones were at least light enough to lift onto the bench without risking a hernia.
