Hello all,

 I waited over three weeks to post this fix because I wasn't sure if what I
did repaired this set. Replacing the convergence power supply (with a known
good one) did not help, set would still bow in whenever the mood strikes it.
I ended up doing the shotgun approach. I spent about two hours taking out,
and cleaning the glue from every smd capacitor on the amplfier board. It has
been playing well since.
I know it would have been easier to change the amplifier board, but the
client was on the teeter as to whether repair or buy a new set.
Thanks to Robert and Phllip Hull for their insight.
