Just got back from doing one. You'll find that by removing and replacing the crt modules the set may work properly---and it may work properly for months. Apparently some crts (primarily Hitachi) had some sort of coating on the crt pins that causes leakage. I used jewelry silver cleaner today as another tech had tried this one 3 previous times. Applied it with a tooth brush then micro washed (alcohol) the cleaner away then air blew it dry. Gotta make its good and dry.
