I have no knowlege of any sort when it comes to this type of repair. I have taken a basic electrical course that covered transistors, capacitors, series and parallel circuits, voltage drops, etc....but nothing this indepth. I have decided to repair it, only because of the aesthetic condition of the set, and i'm just that kind of guy. You guys are a wealth of knowlege, and I hope to learn what I can from you. I'll post details of the repair. thanks,
