[TA-A] Re: RCA, RP TV, CTC169, finding HV gaskets, and OSD?

 
        Jim,
 
    On the gaskets, I cant find them by themselves. I was in Houston fixing a 
169 for a friend a few months ago and I needed a splitter. I got one at O&E 
Electronics (713) 880-3055 but no gaskets. When I went to install, I removed 
the dust caps and found the gaskets were there. I don't know where he gets 
these replacements but, they are cheap and work fine. On the OSD you might have 
done what I did before. I installed leads wrong in splitter and had same 
problem. Didn't realize until I tried adjusting convergence.James Daly
