Peter, A bad connection is a "bad connection". On these sets, sometime they are hard to see. You should remove the solder from the Reg. IC, and any other voltage sources, to see if the trace is broken. Electrolyte leakage through the board, causes the printed ckts. to be damaged. Be sure to replace all the e-caps that show any signs of leakage. Good luck, LLW LeRoy Westlund Westlund TV & Electronics 97 North Main "Where there's a will,...
