I WILL absolutely report back to you - I owe you that.
There's a sense of calm around the place since I found another one though !
My error did disturb me - more than I care to admit particularly as a supposed grown adult.
A bit of a game changer - to accept the limitations of my ability with regard
electronics.
Sure, I can can solder very nicely, put audio grade mono bloc power amplifiers together, add additional linear power supplies to the digital and analogue sections of CD players and the like.
However, this has nothing to do with sensitive and reasonably old - ish radios / receivers etc nor the logic and mathematics behind real electronics.
That part is for you guys who were paying attention at school while I was dreaming of girls.
I regret that now particularly after once previously dormant parts of my brain are now fully engaged with the hobby.....whilst I am tempted to laugh it's really very painful.
Anyway enough of the bleating - if this man can't find the fault never mind fix it I'll attempt to east my own head live on TV - you'll just know it's me
I'll be back......
Andrew
