Points taken, Graham and HCS. In my defence I'll point out that I have been a service engineer since 1971, and before that a hobbyist for 3 or 4 years, none of which means I'm immune to making mistakes-far from it-but over all those years if I've learned nothing else it's when to spend time testing & checking and when, by visual inspection,to simply replace things. I still replace parts such as capacitors, one at a time, and check after so doing that I've wired things correctly.
