My built-in Neff one (now duff) cost a fortune new but in the long run it was worth it as it was far superior to the Panasonic one I replaced it with. should have bought the same again. 

BTW I used the mains transformer out of my original Panasonic 'Genius' one from 1983 to make a spot welder about a month ago !

Sounds like you will be having porridge for breakfast, dinner & tea now for the next month. Ah well 'Another Tank  of Gas and back on the Road again'  ;D

As I was putting it back on the skip and old geezer asked me what was wrong with it.
I told him it had just stopped working so he pulled it off the skip and said he finds tellies on skips and takes them to the repair shop to get them fixed and then sells them.
I smiled and wished him good luck.

Remember the Philips G6 with a valve multiplier EHT that produced X-rays ... Fri**in' scary or what?

Green1:
Just looked on Google as the Phillips G6 sounded familiar we had a couple of those that might explain a few things. ;)

Hairygit.... don't rub salt into the wound...!

Many issues... it's not only a bloody micro, but an oven, grill... & now a bloody steam oven to boot. Heaven help me. And then there's this back-of-beyond Brunei... no Argos, Currys, Comet whatever they are now, but rather a tramp around numerous Chinese outlets with the invariable blank stares or "finished lah"

You take what you can get.. and hey, Mrs Lobo happy enough.

(& frankly fingers crossed the $9 diode doesn't bloody fix it - otherwise I'll be needing a suicide watch)
