What is known on the Samsung S42AX YD01 Plasma panel/boards?/Swisstec T42/1SG

[Alastair E]

Ive got this Swisstec 42" set.

It is absent its PSU board complete. The set is in reasonable condition although has a bulged cap on the YSUS.

What does the 'collective consiousness' know about these Samsung re-badged sets, assembled in Slovakia?
--It does have a nice solid metal case and frame, unlike a lot of 'em.....

Worth buying a PSU or don't bother--troublesome sets??

The PSU type is-- LJ44-00092C Ive managed to deduce.

Theres a vendor on the bay selling NOS PSU for reasonable sum, but Is it worth it!

The 42" panels don't have many problems, though they do have a fair number of Y-main failures, no worse than most Samsung in that respect.

Picture is about the same as a modern LCD, so don't expect stunning black level or fantastic colour. They're pretty power hungry too.
