I have seen these also short the g2 pin on crt. i have an old tube power supply that goes to 400v that i used to remove the g2 short with before. I just momentarily touched the + to g2 while set was on. I would look at the g2 voltage 1st and see if it drops when this happens. may not be your problem. gary Gary Chambers Chambers T V Bradenton,Florida Since 1982 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bil Green" <tv.vcrrepair@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: <DAMON101@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, November 16, 2001 4:51 PM Subject: [TechAssist] Re: Zenith 9-1389 Goes BLACK (Sometimes GREEN) > > Damon, > > Thanks for the tip.
