I did look at these two websites yesterday while I was researching, but didn't realise the second one had multiple pages on the forum. That helped me look further into the transistors again and yep, after removing the NSDU45 I noticed a damage trace on the board, and the transistor is also on...

Yeah bud, like I mentioned the standard operating of the device is sweet. My issue is zero sound out of it at all. No pop or crackle when turning it on, no noise when turning any knobs on either VLF or TR mode. No threshold noise.. literally nothing, except that one exception where some noise...

Drop everything, stand up straight - and look up to the sky with arms wide, like the workers do on a windy day in a ricefield. Every 30mins - hour, or every strong breeze, may remind you to do it

Wishing you both all the best mate

It has never been allowed in the aboriginal reserves... :) At the same time, expect to get an answer off a council member about as honest as spit on a rock. Just fill holes in, dont flog a joint, or tell everyone where you dig, and youll have no problems at all. One day, you will have no where...
