sinuhe: What is the problem with older Avants, non RF - or non DVD - ones? No one seems to recommend those. even when he price is low. There is nothing wrong with older Avants. They are still the best TV ever produced and at just a few hundred pounds you can't go wrong. As with all older sets just make sure that the picture is OK when you buy it

I'm firmly with puncher on this, what a surprise! Although, it would appear that some people, including Alex will believe anything providing it is sold to them in the right way.

They are the same. Both are 30wpc output but it does depend exactly how the marketing men decided to measure it!

The trick when changing the stand is to turn the TV on it's side. You will have to give a better description of the screws. Could be Allen, Torx or Posi. What do they look like?

Foam rot only affects the mid range units but there are 8 of them! They cost around £25 each to replace. The displays should work with the BM5000 via Speakerlink cables. With the cost of replacement mid ranges added to frets at £80-100 per speaker only you can decide if this is a good deal or not. Personally I would wan't to buy at about

Seemed to work fine before but then I've never been moderated to my knowledge. Must be one of the good guys!

The battery is soldered in. I have never had to change a battery but the service manual has a warning that if it is disconnected the board needs to be sent back to the factory! Keith may know more but my advice is if it ain't broke then don't fix it!!!! The mute relay should be soldered with the minimum of heat as with all pcb type devices it

The TX2 has no datalink so cannot be controlled with the remote. It also has RCA leads rather than DIN so will need an adapter. In my opinion you would be better to look for almost any of the same range of tangential decks such as 3000, 3300, 5005 or 5500 which should all work "out of the box" Edit Too quick for me Peter! And I forgot the

redfresnel: Great! Thank you all.:) I'll check first from my local electronic parts dealer if they could get me the relay. Btw, any ideas on the BC "Load CD" button problem of which i explained above? I see there is no easy way to clean the switches without taking the glass out first, but somehow that doesn't sound very tempting..
