become a general replacement fund because so many appliances and gadgets are

NOT a flame, Wilson. Parts of this should be printed and handed out to
every purchaser of a transceiver, TV, or any modern appliance.
Back "in the day" I built some of my radio gear. But repair my own TV now,
not a chance. I've become,

I had that once and it turned out to be a wire connected to my key line

connection between your key or cable and something else.
