The customer told me the set suddenly went from normal picture to excessive brightness, out of focus, but does not have retrace lines. Turning the screens down all the way and adjusting the focus helped but picture was still a little too bright and out of focus. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks Bill ----------------------------------------- Check for shorted or open cap(s) on the crt board. I also had one that was missing a cap and resistor to the crt control grid. Both conditions gave the impression of a bad crt.
