picture warm up which I understand.  But now it will not turn on a

i have owned this amp since 1982 and it has been trouble free until
now, i have been quoted $330.00 AUD to repair the amp after it went
bang and stopped, is it worth fixing or should i go for something more
modern, maybe keep the amp until i find a donor on ebay.

I got this 32" Panasonic Gaoo CT32XF37 TV. It is totally out of focus - the
picture and the on-screen menu.
Does anybody know where I can locate service manual for this TV? Search on
Google and on a couple service manual websites did not yield anything.

Friend brought this to me, so far I found not functioning IC 651 in
converter board.

My old Fellowes Powershred PS 55CC shredder has jammed to the

screws or obvious entry points.  What's the procedure?  I'm

I have a Harmon-Kardon 330B that I am using for a phono preamp and on
of the preamp channels is dead. Any help on locating schematics and/o
service manuals for this unit would be appreciated.

Don't know what it's like in the rest of the world but here in the UK
our biggest retailer in Electrical goods has stopped selling VCR's and
the rest are sure to follow.
They now sell 25 DVD recorders to every VCR.

I just bought a Toshiba 32" stereo TV the weekend before last. The
model number is 32A14.
The past few days, I've noticed that the top 2" or so of the screen
warps or shifts to the left.  It doesn't seem to happen all the time.

The display will only show in Black and White. No color! The user said that
the unit would not turn on but when we got the unit it did turn on. The
only schematic that we have is for the CTC176 which came from the
Electronic Servicing & Technology magazine. (PROFAX 3108   CTC176) Do ...

Getting very low voltage on the Satellite in. ( about 0.5 to 0.6), know I need to have 13 to 16 v to drive the dish.  Easy fix?  Any ideas?
Thanks

I've got a Sony GV-9 8mm VCR / LCD TV combo that I'm trying to repair.
It had the usual leaking capacitor problem.  I've replaced all the
caps and fortunately there wasn't any significant board damage.  The
VCR and tuner work fine, but the LCD is just blank without even the

I've been reading the sci.electronics.repair faq, and it looks like
there's no vertical deflection.
