My System: Sky UK. FTA analogue & digital satellite from 6 fixed dishes (5E/7E/9E/10E/13E/16E/ 19E/23E/28E) Pace MSS100, Echostar IP3000VA, Technomate TM-1000D, Dreambox 7020S


The last noble sat warrior to fly the olden flag of Analogue

Both Amstrad and Grundigs are notorious for capacitor failure in the power supply system. Grundigs are probably the worst for this.

Without the actual model numbers (on a sticker on the bottom of them) its hard to say which one is the newest
