I've been giving this set a few hours use over the weekend, & while it's performed well I've noticed some minor issues.

The aerial socket is slightly loose, & occasionally it's affected the picture, but I've need careful not to put a strain on it. It probably needs just a little resoldering to sort it out.

When the screen is at peak black I can see about 1/3 of the screen is very slightly darker than the rest, but it doesn't seem to affect the picture when displaying anything else so it's probably not worth worrying about.

The other thing is a barely noticeable tilt in the picture that's only really visible when there's something geometric on the screen. This seems to be worse when displaying the centre of a 16:9 image. Again this might not be worth upsetting the apple cart over.

I've ordered some switch cleaner so hopefully I can give the pots & channel selectors a spray.
