Hi everyone,

 

Joined after lurking for short while. Fitted alarms regularly until 30 years ago !!!!

Hello and welcome, I also started out in the TV & Video servicing world but changed due to a back problem.

Welcome to TSI, where such is the expertise that most members at least know the difference between PAL and STD.

I once caught a STD from a PAL 

I used to fix TV's and videos not as a trade as such, more as a hobby, I used to meet up with a couple of mates one who had a workshop with a scope and tone generator ect. No money in fixing them nowadays, you can buy one for what a couple of hours labour would cost.

I did electronic repairs as a YTS,

 

I used to like discharging CRT monitors & making a big f'ck off spark to the chasis

 

 

 

off the lopti?

Not heard that for years, I did TV and video servicing c&g (224?) used to work in a great old retro shop near Pontefract. I met the owners son @ college and have been best friends since. His grandad started the shop selling and repairing bikes then went on to recharging and selling batteries and progressed to a really busy indi TV, video and hi fi Shop. It's still there (2 shops)  but he stopped the electrical side 20 years or so ago. They now sell pet foods in one and gardening gear in the other.

 

Zzzzzz 

224 was the one
