[TechAssist] Re: Sony KP48S70 / KP-48S70, SCC-P14H-A, bad convergence

Many thanks... I see the two conv. amps at the right as seen from rear.
One marked IC1506,cannot see other, but BOTH are STK392-150.
The Sony number is 874901437, and the Sony parts are all I use on
Sonys.In this case they are only about $19.00 each,just a few buck
higher than generacs.
I am thinking I will order a pair to have when I start this set.
My thinking is they may have been stressed,so should replace them with a
pair of new Sony STK IC's , THEN do the alignments. Call it "CYA". ;-)
Thoughts on this method?
