Thorsten Loesch modded Pioneer DV-505 giveaway

Hi all I have a heavily modded DVD player, which I used to use to play CDs. It started playing up (tripped the circuit at switch on). Colin Wonfor (IncaTech) has looked at it and is stumped (despite rebuilding the power supply). Something is going on that is hard to locate. I bought this on the WAD ...

FS Magneplanar SMGc, Peter Gunn mods

Dear all those who recall Witham Fest may remember my WAD KEL84 working wonders with a pair of Gerry's SMGCs, which many regard as one of the most musical of Maggies.
