Many thanks to AC/HL for the DY86, one more fault eliminated on this little tv.
Greg.

My very grateful thanks to Member WaveyDipole who very generously donated me three Tektronix 468 PCB assemblies to help me repair the '468 I imported from America that turned out to have a fatal self–test failure, caused by an internal short–circuit within the original TRW1007PC Video DAC dragging the +5 V to about 4.1 V, resulting in failure!

I have fitted the replacement Graphics panel and the supply line is now OK – there are still other analogue faults to look at, but I've got a carcass with a spare A15 Interface Board for these!

You are a Star, Sir!

Thanks to Rob "whiskas" for a very well-protected package of useful vintage parts- there are some commercial operators who could take worthwhile lessons from him on how to package and protect posted items properly!

Just to say a big thanks to Terry (valvepower) for sending me the switches at no cost to me , Mick.

A big thank you to Member Jac from the Netherlands who scanned me the Philips PM3055 Oscilloscope PCB layout drawings with the pink and grey tracking tints – none of the available online or paper ones I can find show these and the scans were absolutely pristine and pin–sharp!

Many thanks to Nickthedentist for the lovely Monacor grilles and electronic “transformers”. The grilles will make a big improvement to my inside wall loudspeakers. Great packaging as well. Thank-you Nick!

Thank you Craig Sawyers for offering and carefully packing an aluminium side panel for my ‘Startronic’ DC Power Supply.

I acquired this useful PSU many years ago, minus said panel. Now, finally it’s complete.

Thanks to Andy (Yestertech/Setsappeal) for the big box of pots, which arrived safely last week.

I would like to thank Aaron (Aaron_555) very much indeed for his kind gift of a Philips CD104. I will coax it back to life - it's going to be fantastic to have a 104 to play CD's on again after all these years. We will treasure it.

Best wishes,

Steve.
