Re: 1971 Philips G6.
I was always surprised that the most reliable panel (in theory) on the G6 was made pluggable on the single standard versions. Repair of the timebase panel could have been easier if that could have been removed too. I know of several people who actually replaced the decoder board with varying degrees of success, I have to say. I found repairing them was preferable!
Oddly the most common fault (besides the obvious ones) I had on the single standard G6s was a transformer in the demodulator can resulting in odd colours. Luckily scrap sets were plentiful in the late Seventies.
Of course hindsight is a great thing, but I wish I'd kept the G22K503 and the pre-production dual standard in a strange cabinet I had, but obviously they'd never be collectable would they?
