Here is a proceedure I figered out, to solder the yoke P.C. board connections on these Mits PTVs: Hope it helps someone in the future. *********** 1. Remove speaker grill cover, and work from front of set. 2. Remove access cover behind speaker grill cover. 3. Locate the yoke plugs on the yoke P.C. boards, on all 3 CRTs. 4. Wiggle them to see which one is making the loss of vertical deflection trigger the video shutdown cks. 5. Remove the 2 plugs from the yoke P.C. board. 6. Position a small 3" x 6" hand mirror, at an angle where you can see the back side of the 5 pin plug, on the P.C. board. 7. You will see a ring crack around the top 1 or 2 vertical pins of the jack. 8. If the gray plastic from the housing is blocking your view, just cut it away with a pair of dykes. 9. Now take a 35-45 watt pencil iron, with a pointed tip on it, and bend the tip at about a 30 degree angle. 10. Now simply solder the bad connections on the yoke plug as needed. 11. Re-install covers on front of set. 12. Collect for you service call. 13. Smile all the way to the bank. Have a nice day,...and have fun on your next repair of these Mits PTVs. Where there is a will,...there is always a way. ;-) LLW LeRoy Westlund Westlund TV & Electronics 97 North Main " I forgot,..to remember,..
