I don’t miss our old set from the ‘70’s. The picture used to go fuzzy and to solve this we had to thump in the top a few times and it would make a fizzing noise and then two loud bangs and it was then ok. The funny thing is we thought...

Do you remember with the rented TV's if you called out the engineer, he would whip the back off and if he could not fix it withing 10-15 minutes he would take the set away and leave a loan set
