Hello and how is every body. I'm freezing here in the Bronx NY. I have the following problem with this TV. It came dead change the regulator and the HOP and the TV come ok. and work for about 20 minutes and then go dead. So I check the HOP and this was short again I use D2578 = ECG2353. so I install another one and then the picture was about 1 and 1/2 inch close at both side and with pincushion problem. so I check one standing small board that work with the pincushion and the 13+ volt was missing so I fix it and then the picture come perfect. a run the TV for about one hour then it go dead again, I check (Ring) the Fly back and it test perfect I check all the capacitor in the Horizontal section and everything look ok. I install again new HOP and I was happy it work for about two hours and then it go dead again. ( note I touch the HOP and it not get hot). My question is . It is possible that the Joke has something to do with this problem because I check it and in the Horizontal winding check ok. but when I ring the vertical it say not good I get 0 rings. please if someone has any advice let me know. oh I almost forgot in the last time I install a original HOT that I took from another Magnavox Chassis. Thank you all and I send you a little cold from here. Jose R. Paniagua.
