Clever work around solution to a bad RCM.

Sometimes parts are not available, cost too much, or take too long to get before the need.
My early career involved servicing and repairing all types of electronic equipment. Before college I went to a vocation/trade school for electronics. I wowed my now wife, and friends when I asked for a paper click and made a temporary repair to their television jumping a sync circuit to another zener diode on the circuit board. I appreciate clever work around solutions.
