The 5 volt regulator that supplies 5 volts to the jungle IC was regulating with a solid 5.1 volts but it was also oscillating at a high frequency and the filter caps could not clean it up completely. Replaced IC552 AN78M05. ************************************************** Jim Myers Since 1972 Telrad Electronic Services Co.

Hard to describe this problem without seeing it but it is a pattern of lines that float around in the video, almost like loss of horizontal sync except the picture is normal with these lines on top of the picture. The problem is only there when using the tuner, video thru the external input is good with no beat pattern at all. I have replaced the jungle IC, the saw filter, the audio IC, the 9V reg IC and the EEPROM all for other problems, IE, no video, no osd no sound, etc. to get to this point then replaced the jungle IC again in case I had received a bad one, replaced the tuner which did not help. Is there any hope? I also have checked all the 'lytics, checked for noise on the source voltages, etc. Thanks from a basket case......me.....not the set. ************************************************** Jim Myers Since 1972 Telrad Electronic Services Co.
