Hi Brian,

This is very kind of you and I appreciate the electrical warning; I think it is the high voltages that have put me off attempting TV repairs and I very much felt such danger whilst installing my 3 phase 415V home wound 10KVA transformer into my garage.

It's funny how things progress because this morning I had no intention of actually restoring a TV and now suddenly I'm involved with not one but two. I'm awaiting information from the owner of the TV shown in the Bulletin which is my first choice assuming it is for sale and if I find it is too costly for me I now have the chance of an Ekco TV which is in my price range also requiring extensive cabinet work.

What I really need is a warm warehouse and plenty of money.

Kind regards, Col.
