Hi, Gang, I picked this set up this morning. When I checked it in the home, it had a washed out video smear, and low brightness. It kinda resembled a H-K short in the CRT. When I hooked it up to troubleshoot it on the bench, I couldn't get it to act up. Tapping on the CRT, and the chassis, won't even show a flicker of a problem. I checked the e-caps on the CRT board, and they are OK. Doe's anybody have anything archived, or any suggestions for this problem ? I see that this set seems to have a history of having bad CRTs. I hate to take it back, and not be able to guarantee it, but that's what I am thinking about doing. TIA, LLW LeRoy Westlund Westlund TV & Electronics 97 North Main "Where there's a will,...
