Did not know you could do this, I guess I am behind times, you can look on what a member post. Go to left hand side and click onto their name, there one will see "View Public Profile' and "View Recent Posts by _____". A Lot easier than having to go to "Members zone", to view the posts one has post.

I did & in my defense, I only maimed a couple of them. However, the only reason the t.v. made it was because I loved to watch it...haha. You know, I still haven't seen the inside of a t.v., come to think of it. We're probably due for a new one anyway.

The funniest (although rather embarrassing at the time) thing I ever tried to take apart was when I worked at a department store. You know those little gadgets that you use to put a tag on something? Well, mine jammed. So I thought - hey, how hard could it be to fix? I take the screw out & parts popped in all directions. I couldn't believe all that was inside there! One lady just looked at me, shook her head and walked away. I thought, yep, you raised a 'me', didn't you?
Well, ya'll be careful foolin' around in back of a TV, especially those picture tube types. Ever wonder why your TV is bright when it is on? There is anywhere between 18-20K volts running to the tube and even when the TV is off, there is a charge that remains in the power supply section. I can see the picture now..hair all standing up, face covered in black soot and smoke in the air and the look on your face wondering what the heck was that !? Big Grin So be careful !!
