-------- Original Message -------- Subject: RCA F25163WN (CTC167C) Q2901 lum. buffer bad again,retrace lines. Date: Mon, 24 Sep 2001 13:40:41 -0400 From: Phil Bader <philbad@xxxxxxxxxx> Organization: Jan Phyl TV Inc. Winter Haven, Fl. Estab. 1976 To: "CONSUMERELREPAIR-L@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <CONSUMERELREPAIR-L@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Last week I repaired this for the typical "bright,washed out video with retrace" by replacing a shorted luminance buffer Q2901. I confess I had to salvage one from a chassis.( Number on part is 3474). It's baaack,same symptom and same shorted transistor. Did I just install a weak used one, or is something else here... And what's a replacement # for this transistor? Orig# and NTE? Thx-Phil Help make your TechAssist online repair tips database better!
