I'm trying to figure out how to thank you for this. Just saying "Thank you" doesn't seem enough.
This problem would have gone away in a couple of weeks when I un-plugged the heater for the winter season. As long as the shop stays above 40, the oil doesn't gel. Then the problem would have come back early next winter when I plugged it back in.
At any rate, it would have driven me to insanity; I would never have figured this out on my own.
Just a curiosity: Problems like mine weren't an issue in the old days of analog TVs, was it?
So: thanks a million for tracking this down.
I have enough problems in life, and my erratic TV reception for the past few weeks was something I didn't need.
