So I've had this working for a days now, and put it on my desk in the basement. I was watching it while doing some stuff at my desk when the picture started shrinking. I turned it off, but not soon enough. About a minute after I shut it off, I heard something explode inside and awful smelling smoke came out of the back. I identified the problem as that big oil filled capacitor that sits across the power transformer used in low voltage power regulation. It exploded and sprayed oil all over inside the set, and now the whole basement reeks
