Yes, it's in with the audio,I think the "hash" causing the horiz. instability is getting into other circuits. I "feel" (nonprofessional?) that the fluback is the cause here. Probably the pots. I ordered one at a very fair price, less than fifteen bucks if that tells you something. Will be installed Thursday. I replaced scan caps, the H. driver, and a 100mfd cap known to go south. Same ole. I lit a candle and faced east. That usually gets results, but no... Chicken bones, ouija board, nothing...Stubborn case. Will see. hey, if you are gonna "feed" me tips from your program,why am I buying one, I can just bust your chops. ;-) Just razzin ya.
