I am wary of these birds. Keep really still while they are walking through my camp site. I don't want to upset them.

I'm restoring a 50 year old Sanyo CTP 7609. Re-capped the lot but put a 65v cap on a 120v line.
It's main problem was video 'tearing' and no sync pulse. This was caused by black corrosion on the VIF IC pins. Filed that stuff off and now good as new.

Amazing, our little bush oasis back yard in South East Australia suburbia, has attracted a regular visitor, a female Saturn bower bird! Our neighbours have mostly European-based ecological deserts. So all of those years constructing the back yard paid off!
