Re: Thought this might amuse you...
To be fair (!) to the repairer the tub was actually inside the spacious cabinet, though not anchored in any way.The two 5A plug fuses were forced into the 20mm fuseholders on the mains input panel - as you know these should be 3.15A. Just to add to the fun, the set's mains switch was shorted so the box and therefore the audio stage would be permanently on even when the TV was in standby.
I must admit this is one of the more elaborate bodges I've come across, up there with the firebar element serving as a makeshift dropper in a Thorn 1400!
