Hi, It looks like someone at some point has physically handwritten it on the tube face and didn't clean it properly prior to reassembly. The contrast screen can be removed to clean it if desired. If I recall correctly you can unclip the two plastic strips above and below the contrast screen to gain access to the screws. Steve EDIT: I see that the

Chris, it's best to not discuss potential purchases with other halves. Buy it first, keep it hidden then announce that you've had it for ages.

Graham, is this the Beogram that slid off the back car seat when your son collected it for you? If so you can blame him for the damage and get him to rewind the coil as compensation

Bit of a long shot here but I have a BV6 22" and an NOS motorised wall bracket for an MX4000. Does anyone think there's a possibility of converting the bracket to work with the TV? It couldn't possibly be a straight forward plug in and create an adapter to physically mount the TV to the bracket could it? As far as I'm aware there's
