Now I'm livid. Those PCL805s I ordered came today.

I bought Philips, Mazdas arrived. Seller has listings for both kinds, I thought I'd give them a go anyway. After all, interchangeable parts.

I plugged them in. I turned it on and sat back for it to warm up. A horrible loud buzz came out with several popping and cooking sounds. The waft of burned electrics hit my nose.

I've put the old ones back.
