This unit came in with no picture. I checked the G2 on the CRT board....0. When 
I pulled the G2 lead to
check the voltage, it wasn't present, when I replaced the lead, the set started 
to work and has worked
ever since.
Only problem now, is when I press power, there is retrace lines momentarily, 
less than a second, before
the set shuts down.
The only thing I can catch, is the RGB cathodes drop to 20vdc, then to 40vdc 
which is where they stay for
standby.
G2 acts no differently..until the power is gone. I've checked components in the 
ABL circuit thinking the
problem may be there and they check OK.
I'm ready to send this set home the way it is, unless someone gives me one last 
hope, here....thank you.
