Just posting to get some restrictions removed. From scotland, worked on electronics stuff for years. saved myself a fortune in repair work, and also found myself owning things i otherwise couldnt afford purely by buying broken and repairing. I enjoy taking things apart, and learning how stuff works.

Got a burning question refarding ESR so hopefully i can get posting soon.

cheers

Hi all. Found this site while searching for information on an Insignia TV. Fixed my first TV at 12 years old (it wasn't hard to test tubes back then, LOL) Off to tech school for formal electronics training, the joined the phone company. In house training for the first 15 years on common control switches then into the computer department for many, many years of training and work on the likes of IBM, HP, DEC, DG, Sun, EMC, Dell, Storage tech, and ATL systems, including all there tape decks and disk storage machines. These were the back room servers for the entire phone system.
The phone company believed in, all in house servicing back then, so the above mentioned companies had to train us to do all the work on their propritary hardware.
My first home computer was the Commodore C64, I even built my own tape deck for it from an old cassette player. I've been called a jack of all jacks and a master of none, as I repair just about anything, including my own cars, up to rebuilding a couple of auto computers. Last project I built from scratch was a nixie clock using TTL chips, about 5 years ago.

Hello, my name is Jeff. I have been an avionics tech with the US Navy for 13 years and enjoy finding new and inventive ways of spending my money in time in the pursuit of not only fixing stray electronics, but also with the goal of confounding my wife.

My current project is rehabilitating a HannsG HH251 which has your oh-so-typical 2 Seconds To Black gripe going on. I look forward to contributing and learning quite a bit here.

After taking my TV to two repairmen and getting nowhere, I ran across this excellent website. I look forward to learning from you and benefitting from your expertise.

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hi, I'm Paddy from near Newry, N.Ireland. My main work is repairing quads lawnmowers, and small engine stuff. Also do a lot of auto electrics but tend to keep the electronic repairs as a hobby so I dont get sick looking at them, came across this site while searching for a circuit diagram. So I probably couldn't help anyone much about a tv repair but for motorbike/quad or auto electrics info just ask
