figured that's whaty you'd say and can't blame ya. There are few folks repairing TB's today. Sony and Zenith still have factory repair centers in the US last I new. Others use contracted shops. Some, (under $200 for 27 inch) are tossed if under waranty. Found this out when my mom's Sony XBR needed it's second repair. She got a Sylvania Digital/analog 27, but it makes the amplifiers under the table hum and require shielded input cables unlike the Sony. I'm thinking of putting a couple of sheets of tin foil to block that from transmitting downward to the amplifiers I've installed for her main audio. Do I need to wire that to a case ground or something for it to drain?
