Default Re: Thought this might amuse you...

During my many years in the trade I came across just about every bodge you could think of.

Another common mystery was a dead receiver that came in for another fault i.e. a frame collapse. All was revealed when the plug top cover was removed. The customer had wired the plug live to live, neutral to the earth pin. My isolated bench supply revealed the mistake. This was surprisingly common.

I think I have posted some while back the Philips 17TG100U that was working with a 2" gap around the picture so I won't repeat it unless you want me to..John.
