David, receivers of this type usually use a simple power supply
technique called the capacitive wattless dropper. The central
component, and the one that often fails in this arrangement is usually
a blue or white cuboid with markings that say something like
X2 275v AC and a value in uF. If you can't identify such a component
post a picture on a photo on Flickr or equivalent and post a link to
this thread.
Unfortunately you are posting via Homeownershub which gives you the
illusion that this Usenet newsgroup is their web forum, this is far
from the truth, and from experience we know there is a high
probability that we won't hear from you again, so we are probebly
wasting our time.
On the offchance you aer still with us and if you really must use the
Web to access this newsgroup, can you follow this link and use Google
Groups instead?
