First thing I suspect is the IK circuitry, it's setting the turn-on point of the CRT's. Could be you had to crank up the screen controls to offset an extremely high cutoff, which would indicate either a short, or the IK indicating a short where there is none. Check the cathode voltage with a blank video input on each crt, normal voltage at cutoff is around 180-185, if this is way off on all or at least one, then it's time to test all components in the IK, there's other tests we can run........ BTW........a freakin' model number would've helped..... RA chassis numbers are pretty sweet too.
