Which version of the avant is type 8403, is it the original curved screen model, the products page doesn't make it clear and I have searched the forum and found 1 reference?
Thanks

stupid avant question

Type 8403 is a 32" Curved Screen VCR Avant. The RF version is 8433.
Cheap as chips now, but the tubes are getting a bit dodgy. We stick ours straight on ebay when we get them in - i wouldn't fancy slapping a 6 or 12 month warranty on one. Not to say they all blow up - the 32 is much more reliable than the 'whoops, me tubes popped' 28's which i avoid like the plague now.

Another stupid question?
Why is the old LX series the least trouble free and many still working great while MX and Avant's dies?
With the L and LX they have few issues like standby and stuff. It's simple to do by repair guys and after they live on.
Cheers Lee, will be steering clear og that one then!
LX and MX tv's are exactly the same.
Same tube, same guts. Just different speaker layout and casing.
No reason why LX should live longer than an MX.
I suppose the LX is reliable because it was at the end of the line of the series. The tubes were very tried and tested - Avants obviously had a new tube and these did give problems initially. MX tvs were different initially but as Brett says, the LX6000 and MX6000/7000 are much the same set.
