[time-nuts] True Position GPSDP + Rb X72

Hi, Yes this is indeed the case but the procedure is quite fiddly. IIRC to do this you need to get the lamp in a position where the heat gun can access the front where the pinch is: problem might not be this at all. I would visually inspect lamp and if it looks OK then check everything else inc
