Went to collect the hifi from the repair shop this morning. I had sent it in as the sound kept cutting out at random. Didn't cut out again whilst I was listening to it when I got back, so hopefully it's fine now.

They also fixed the volume control, which is nice, but weird.

It's been broken since around 2001 (could still control the volume with the remote, so there wasn't much incentive to get it fixed until now), so it now just seems odd that it should work the way it's supposed to.
