Anyone have any luck doing anything with stuff like this? I've had very good luck keeping things with real power switches going. Things with push-on/push-off always on circuitry, and switching power supplies --- not so much. The TV got fixed, but only by wholesale replacement of the power supp

My 60s vintage Blaupunkt MB radios used to blow out the power transistor on the back. I successfully had those repaired several times. I liked the Balupunkets as they were a one piece solid state DIN mount radio, VS the Beckers with a separate tube amp stashed somewhere. It's on the board

That is inspirational, Dan. I am sold. Do you apply one of those films on the lens to block the UV and lessen the solar insult - or is that unnecessary? I'm thinking of doing this to my upstairs skylights. On Sun, Feb 8, 2015 at 7:55 PM, Curt Raymond via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote:

No UV blocking that I know of, but I'll have to look at the product literature to be sure. Right now it's tough to detect any heat load from it, but I'll check on the next sunny day and see. This particular location doesn't get a lot of direct sunlight until later in the year when the sun is h
