Default Re: Sony KV-1810UB - the GCS rides again!

Excellent! God I hated those sets, and luckily we only saw a few. Before we became Sony agents, a friend from the local Granada branch humped an 1810 onto my bench and asked me if I could 'do anything with it' for him. I said the best thing would be to buy a handful of GCS's and hope for the best. None of us knew of the mods or official repairs at that time.
So he bought some new devices (£18 a time sticks in my head, but I could be wrong), stuck them in and had a look around for anything obvious, like you do. Nothing obvious seen, his hand hovered over the on/off switch...
Cue the workshop banter - "turn it on you ******* big girl's blouse", "go on, it'll be alright!"
So on it went, with a BANG followed by cries of SH!T! and lots of chortling.
Shouldn't laugh.
Anyway, jolly well done, you are a brave and stout fellow.
