Kevin Guess that makes us even on this one. Don't have a manual but Q505 appears to be some sort of voltage regulator in the horz/pincushion area. The drive to base of Q505 comes from IC501 and thats where he width and pin controls are. If Q505 is open width is about 1/2 the screen, guess it wasn't conducting properly when cold, uneducated guess. Al G Kevin wrote: > > Q505 was also my fix as well.
