Made in 1994.Other similar versions are: 55EX9K,50EX10B,50EX11B,50EX12KV. Powers up with a perfect picture, sound and convergence. After maybe 30 seconds, I hear an audible "thump" as it shuts down. Must unplug to reset. I closely looked at the power/deflection board for bad solder,visablly bad caps,stains,etc. but none seen, and tapping the set when on produces no signs of bad connections. I think I hear a slight raspy noise coming from the horizontal area just before shut down but the picture is unaffected. I ESR'd many small lytics around the vert, and regulators. All seem OK. I THINK it is an AP32 chassis. Phil Bader -- Philip Bader Jan Phyl TV Inc. (estab. 1976) 3420 Recker Hwy.
