Re: Worth saving?
Having just read this thread, in the interest of safety. As already said above most of these sets being quite early colour portables before scart sockets were the norm had live (half mains potential) chassis. However, there was one Matsui / Saisho of that vintage which I cannot remember the model numbers but i am pretty sure it was an Orion chassis, was fitted with audio/video input phono sockets and an AV/TV slide switch at the rear of the set. These were wired into circuit using opto-couplers to provide mains isolation. As this was deemed not to conform to British electrical safety standards the official Mastercare modification was to remove all wiring between these sockets and the main chassis. Stickers were applied next to the sockets and to the instruction book saying that this facility did not apply to this model. Thought I would just mention this in case one had slipped through the net.
