Ay-yep. As my TV-repairman Dad says, "It's repair science, not rocket science" - 90% of repairs are Been-There-Replaced-That-And-Fixed-It-Last-Time-So-I'll-Look-There-Again repairs. It's also nice to have a cheat sheet Sams, all doctored up with repair notes from previous repairs. I've got a Sams 1000 (CTC-38) schematic with at least 30 repairs noted - and not all from the same tech, as Dad used to loan out Sams to other shops. Some Tough Dog repair stuff!

Cheers,
