Hi All.
This thing was basically released from a factory somewhere in China. Cabinet and looks are great. 21 Inch flat screen tube as well. TV picture is so..so but will pass if compared to similar sets. Nothing to brag about. Ain't an LG or a Samsung though.
So with interest, I open the thing to see what is inside this beautiful casing. You never know these days anymore with the Chinese dumping all their crap in South Africa with total support from our Guvment. (That's how the masses who buy this stuff both say and spell words).
Anyways, here are a few photo's I took of this abortion earlier this afternoon. I will explain after the photo's.
OK. They loaded.
The first one is of the Tube Base board (factory mod).
The second one is also the Tube Base board (factory mod)
The third is the actual TV. Telefunken. Chinese rip off.
And the fourth photo is a mod to drive the Vertical Scan coils for this absolute abortion of a chassis (factory mod).
Note the cable ties.
To the untrained eye, all looks OK.To the trained eye something is wrong.
All I am saying by posting these pic's is this is the kind of crap (the dregs or very last of bits and pieces) China is pushing down South Africa's throat right now. I fixed the set. In spite of all the "factory" mods.
Maybe many people reading this post would not comprehend. FFS it is sooo difficult to explain sometimes.
If this abortion breaks within our warranty....we have a pile of poo on our hands.
I am up for the task though....I will just modify it further

Make it better than the original factory mess.....
Cheers
