Hi everybody. I picked up a 55vt30 for free and it was in primo condition,
Had the stand, manual, remote and even 2 pair of glasses.
I then picked up another identical not working and he wanted $150.00 which still wasn't bad, but I offered him $80.00 and he accepted.
I bought one kit to get one running first and then I was going to move on to the next one. The kit was from US so i thought the parts would be ok.
I did not check the 30f131 as the post from tw2005 suggested but apparently they were purchased as the usual fake China ones. I blew all six at turn on. I then checked some other 30f131's and they were all steady readings at about 1.8 meg.
I only had 3 that matched and the other 3 I replaced with the 30h2 and it came on and worked. I have run it about 6 hours and its quiet and runs cool.
Thought I would share that story. Do you think the 30h2"s are a better option or should I keep using the 30f131 and checking them before installation?
