Designs we love to hate!

HA-HA !

Funny.... EM - So are they helper magnets?? Never seen that one....
I have to agree on stupid mechanical design items like that.... Looks like it was made
(designed) to need service (picture alignment) if you (customer) got mad at
something on tv and hit it ! !

I also very much hate the moon shot power supply designs, and the wires too short
to pull the chassis out and run the set so you can get in there to check something....

My first year in tv service I got a boom box from Sharp and up till then I never even
knew there was such a thing as paint on resistors.... I opened up this thing and it looked
like the board had parts labeled but the actual resistor was not there ! ! Since it was
on boom boxes, when people dropped them and the board for a fracture the resistors
would open..... Frustrating at first, but a short lived problem....
