The courses certainly exist. For example, if you (click here) you will find a 3-hour "Plug Top Replacement Course" that one can undertake ("Australia-wide") for $180 + GST.I have not heard of such a course, although it may exist.
... which suggests that such might be the case, at least in some States.Plugs and extension sockets may be replaced by a non-electrically qualified person, provided the person has been trained, assessed and found to be competent to fit plugs and sockets according to the manufacturers instructions.
One of my junior school friends father worked for one of the tv rental companies, like Radio Rentals. I went round to his house in the middle of the night in the winter to see the second colour test card transmission which would have been winter 1965/66, my last year at junior school.Did you have a colour TV in 1965?
I certainly didn't, but our then next-door-neighbour (who drove a Bentley) did around then.Did you have a colour TV in 1965?
I am 54. We weren't rich but we had a colour telly in the mid 70's. From memory, it was a phillips that had the clunker (noise) remote control (it would only scroll through the channels).I certainly didn't, but our then next-door-neighbour (who drove a Bentley) did around then.
I bought my first colour TV, together with my first (Betamax) VCR and my first (B&W) video camera, as a 'package' in late 1980. I know that because I bought them whilst my wife and newborn first daughter were in hospital, the latter two of the items being bought in order to record our daughter's earliest days!
Kind Regards, John

I don't think my grandfather's one was 'new-fangled' enough to have a remote!From memory, it was a phillips that had the clunker (noise) remote control (it would only scroll through the channels).
Getting back to the "topic" for the OP !Lol sadly after opening it I discovered it was infact welded and I don't have the confidence (or brave enough) to weld it.
