Might be--(I stress might) a yoke. Had a similar model that had the same symptoms in the customers home. Guys brought it in--and it went dead. Fought--and fixed the power supply that failed when I got it here just to find the bad yoke. I had to get "christian" with the toshiba I just fixed and posted about last week. I had to "lay hands" on the yokes to force the failure. Some twisting, some tapping--and finally it acted up. The yokes rang perfect BTW Jeff Lyles TV and Appliance Elkhorn, Wi. 53121 tech@xxxxxxxxxxx ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter W.
