You are right about the power supplies being a problem in those things. I used to read about people burning them out all the time. The Echo-7000 I had, is pretty much the same thing as an HT-8, and my power supply was OK, but I burned out the tuner in mine, so I picked up 2 HT-8 units, one of which had a bad power supply, and I can't remember what was wrong with the other. I figured that between 3 units all of which had different problems, that I should be able to put the parts together to make one working on. So I started trading parts. I actually had one of them working for a while, but eventually, with all the guts loose in the thing I finally shorted something out and killed the power supply in the combination I had going, so I ended up with 3 dead receivers. I finally tried to mail the working remote to someone in the group, and it got lost in the mail.
