    Sadly the only difference I noticed between the standard and broadcast versions is that it was impossible to find a service manual for the broadcast one, which is why it wasn't ever fixed!

    I would have thought the BBC must have had one somewhere. Or Technics. I guess you tried them, though.

    Technics had it but wouldn't release it to me even though I was working full time at Hi-Fi World at the time and tried to play the 'trade' card.

    Apparently I had to be an authorised Panasonic Service Centre in order for them to send me it.

    That's very jobsworth of them. I don't know why they would be so concerned about releasing a service manual for a product they last made in 1989.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Hey, you witnessed it. You can blast it out for hours and the case is still so cold that your skin sticks to it. (Not quite but not far off). Probably should get a valve amp to swap to in the cold weather.

    Or my Levinson class A monoblocks. Standing dissipation: 400 watts each! So I'm in the opposite position, I have to swap to cooler-running Quad 510s in the summer.

    Nothing very radical in the BBC modified version. This small board is it:


    Adds function to the start fader (not sure what, as mine doesn't work. The fader isn't the standard type and has two sets of connections. Don't know if it's just a stereo slider as I haven't took it out yet.

    If you're getting yours fixed, get new tactile switches fitted. They cost nothing really. Replacing them is a bit of a chore (27), but they make a WORLD OF DIFFERENCE to the feel of using it, being a lot, lot, lot more positive in action. The originals feel tired and shagged-out, by comparison. Really worth the trouble.

    The two surface mount capacitors (1uF/33uF) on the motor-drive board will have failed, more than likely. A good chance the lasers will be OK.
