Thanks Jeff for the tip, you're right. But I had no intention of leaving the NTE in the set. Some time I use generics for test. I have the original D1879. I found that part of my problem was C408 {1uf} thanks to Ken Smith's post on yesterday. Now it comes on with a narrow picture but the HOT runs cool. I need a print and will try to get one monday from a local tech. My thanks to all of you for your help! ---Grady Wilson's TV Service Texarkana, Tx. 75501 gomdwil@xxxxxxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lost Password: http://www.tech-assist.org and select "Login Problems?".
