This set has good sound but no pix at all.I checked all caps in the PS and also in the vertical ckt.All ok. I checked for the 28V at pin 8 of this ic and its only at 10.2v.The vcc at pin 1 is at 1.9v. I went ahead anfd replaced the IC anyway since its known to cause a shutdn problem.Eighter I am missing the vcc supply to the IC or its in shutdn mode due to a problem in the vertical ckt.Can someone give me the resistor id off the flyback and diode that feeds the vertical ic so that I can check them for open or shorts.Also, any idea's or tips would be apreciated very much.Thanks Mando Birdie's TV & Electronics Casa Grande, AZ ***************************************************************************** CHECK OUT THE NEW CHATROOM!
