I neglected to list it on my personal information page, so the purchase is buried somewhere under a few thousand business purchases. I'm pretty sure, though, that it didn't last as long as I usually expect from such equipment, maybe 4 or 5 years.

That goes back to the days when new models weren't created every 6 months, but had lives measured in years. Alex "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been.

Now this I find a bit difficult to understand. - (Andrew Grygus) - (15) - Nov. 13, 2015, 05:55:43 PM EST

Could you have some kind of a short (not necessarily a dead short) at the end of tuner connector? - (a6l6e6x) - (5) - Nov. 13, 2015, 08:55:15 PM EST
