OK, we finally finished this one. The last part finally arrived this week, and I went out today. It went OK. I wish I had re-read Jeff's post. I had to leave the house, and comb our town looking for a 6" #2 philips driver (Thank God for Tractor Supply). I wound up removing the optical block, to replace the lamp, which had shatterred. But, other than being short a screwdriver, It went OK. Taking my time, it took about 2 1/2 hours, including 45 minutes for the tool run. The next one will go quicker. I also replaced the Lamp Driver & the power supply board. Thanks to everyone who responded to my plea for help. That made this job a lot less frightening. John Myers Myers TV Service Company 376 E.
