The last thing I want to do is kill off any enthusiasm and interest in the repair of old television receivers, especially by the younger generation.

We need to kill the dragon!

Do you drive? If not,do you have a mate with transport who is willing to spend a few hours to bring this Hitachi over to my workshop in W. Sussex? We can go through it and hopefully get a result.

You need to understand circuit diagrams. Failing this you have no real hope of getting this working and I fear may cause more problems. You need to obtain some old radio BOOKS to do this and study them. They cost practically nothing at radio table top sales, auctions etc.

I'm about 10 miles south of Box Hill Dorking in an area of outstanding beauty so it will be a pleasant journey once off the A3.

Please don't suggest sending it!! A personal visit is essential. The offer is on the table, FOC. Regards, John.
