We found several ring cracks on connectors throughout all modules....the one that seemed the worse was at connector 3B5 which is on the stand up daughter board on the sweep/smps. Now that we have that resolved we are seeing slight fluctuation in brightness AND focus on all 3 CRTs. Also...in order to achieve focus , we have the pots on the bleeder assembly maxed. Looking at a cross hatch you can see the focus varying ever so slightly. The bleeder is fed by the HV splitter.....has anyone seen these fail & cause this symptom?
