This set is fixed and gone,but for those that didn't see the Fix posted.......... the symptom(which is difficult to describe) was on RCA Jack inputs(all) and to a lesser degree on Antenna input.But it was NOT there on S-Video,nor at the Video output Jack on ANY input,which (not to my knowledge at the time) meant the problems were in the Comb Filter Circuit. the problem was caused by a Corroded Collector lead on Q502.It had a cap that I had already replaced (C502) right next to it.It was one of the original 100uF/16v caps I had replaced. Anyway,that Leaking Cap had leaked onto Q502 and corroded it's collector lead...
