Super job and an excelent set of pictures and video. I'm jealous of the range of test equipment. Who'd have thought I could infulence the behaviour of someone so far away

You haven't used any tools that most builders aren't going to need anyway to fit all the plugs and sockets on a machine (I'd add a solder-sucker for clearing out the holes) and my only gripe would be the lavish amount of heatsink compound. Nice to think Dean will be sending you a pallette-load of stuff to repair.
