Just this week I picked up an very nice Avant 32 VCR, silver for Β£130UK - this including a mint Beo4 (dvd version), a silver DVD1 and shelf, and some STB brackets to hang a sky box on behind the TV.
It is heading for a second room (kids use mainly) to replace a 28Avant DVD that has an impending tube failure, I think. Faint lines visible behind the picture on darker images, runing horizontally across the screen in a sort of stretched S shape....(may be called scan lines, seems to ring a bell, and I think that is the precurser to a failed tube ) so grabbed this avant off fleabay - only 5 miles away so easy to collect.
Any tips about mending the 28DVD apreciated though....is it an adjustment or is the tube about to die ??
