thanks guys, I did what you said, and I usually change em both myself, but not on these that have one for vert and one for Horz,, unless both are bad, anyway, swapped, em, problem did not follow the IC, changed them both with new sanyo's, ( thinking it was a marriage thing ? ) { they are just audio amps } same, checked all the resistors again, still the same, the one stk gets way to hot to be normal, if left on for 5 minutes will probably burn up, I've added heat sink while I was trying to determine if I could get it closer to alignment, still got pretty hot, it is being way over driven, can the DCU have this out of adjustment enough to cause it to draw more current ? I guess so, Brock Electronics R.R.4 box 237 5208 cr.3385 Independence Ks. 67301 620-331-0235 fax 331-7191 markbrock@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Zenith*Philips*Peavey*Fender*Crate we work on all brands,makes,models of anything that plugs in the wall ----- Original Message ----- From: "markbrock" <markbrock@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, October 25, 2005 6:20 AM Subject: [TechAssist] Akai red convergence > model PTH5498 > this set came in with bad convergence, all three bowed down from top, the > fuse under ICZ104 was open, so I changed this STK392-040, now the > convergence is ok for green and blue but red is actually worse and the ic > gets hot, fuse still in tack but red convergence is so far out that there > is not way to correct, this is a sanyo ic and I know there is some > discussion about after market stk's, the printing is smaller.
