Hi all.
As well as my car interests I have always had an interest /hobby in vintage hifi and tv and most recently progressed into plasma tv's.
What I was wondering is has anyone any reccommendations as to a good online forum similar to ours but for my hobby.
Heard of badcaps and a few others but just thought you may know of any I've not .something uk preferably and catering from valve tv's up to plasma ( hi-fi too)
Any ideas

AV Forums immediately sprung to mind, but that does tend to be people showing off latest and greatest.

His missus, however, is liable to hate me for the rest of time :P

plasma TVs use a shed load of electric too £££££  :o
If you do some calculations based on power usage and cost and how long each day your TV is on ...
you can justifiably soon talk yourself into a newer TV  :P
but you'd probably have to turn on the central heating to replace the heat that the plasma used to give  :D

I went to B&Q yesterday and when I parked up there was a long legged red head wearing high heel boots and tight 'skinny' jeans loading timber into her car opposite me.  :y

Nice arse, I thought and then he turned around!  :o  ::)  :(  ;D

hi kevin. is that your own website then ?  interesting stuff.
i know i enquired a couple of years back and i think it was you who replied regarding issues i was having with a x50 panasonic plasma power supply. some of your answer made sense ,some didnt but that was early days for me with plasmas ( and smps) for that matter. i have learnt a bit since then.
i am a servo motor and panel designer/ builder by trade so a lot of my work stuff isnt realy relevant to electronics as such.but its something im interested in so it will go into my brain !.
i will browse some of the suggested sites and see what looks good or usefull/ interesting to me.i am always up for learning new methods and obviously youtube is ideal for seeing other peoples methods and repairs.although theres lots about tracing faults down to actual whole panels but its abit more interesting and self satisfying to go in at component level. not 100% successfull at that yet but have repaired a few panasonic sc boards and also samsung power supplies with the faulty caps.  cheers,thanks for replies
