Hi Guys, Thanks to all that replied, I don`t like mentioning names because I don`t want to forget anyone, The Fix for this was Q2906, it got rid of the retrace and the bright red screen at turn off & channel change, I will mention Bill Grabowski`s post because it is directly relevant, he mentioned that usually when Q2906 is bad that the E-C junction will be less than 200 Ohms, this one in circuit measured 69 Ohms, Thanks again, this site is such a great asset to us small shops, Larry E Larry Eastman American TV & Electronics Crystal River, Fl. 34428 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Larry E" <videotech@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "tech-assist" <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, October 13, 2005 9:48 AM Subject: [TechAssist] RCA 169 G35830WK retrace lines/red screen @ turn off > Hi Guys, this 35" RCA has a strange problem, set comes on with widely spaced retraces lines that will not > adjust out with the screen control, I`m hoping this is Q2906 (which I`m ordering today) but the voltages on it > were real close so it may not be the problem, the wierd problem is at channel change or turn off the screen gets bright red, I swapped the blue and red driver transistors on the crt board with no change, checked tube on Sencore CR 70, reads ok, Any ideas ? tia, Larry E > > Larry Eastman > American TV & Electronics > Crystal River, Fl. 34428 > > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- > This Email List is accessible to the general public through search engines.
