Model P46100tn CTC169BN 1990 model, my personal set, blue gun would intermittently turn up or down, noticed it most on the black and white Andy Griffith show, then made a pop and now have a burnt spot on the blue gun, I've never been in it since a lightning strike several years ago, question is what causes the blue gun to burn a stripe up and down about 5 inches, looks light a lightning bolt, I think I have another gun but dont want to put it in and find a bad neck board or something and then burn the new one, resoldered the CRT board, the R's on it are OK and no fluid leak that I can see, is this a common thing when these guns short ? the blue is still working, sometimes its over driven with retrace and you can still turn the screen up or down to compensate, is it the gun or do I need to check further, plan on resoldering the tuner, and replacing cr4118 while I'm in there, also noticed it takes a few minutes to brighten up so maybe the 4.7/250 cap as well. appreciate any advise, brock Brock Electronics R.R.4 box 237 Independence Ks. 67301 316-331-0235 fax 331-7191 brock@xxxxxxx mailto:brock@xxxxxxx ------------------------------------------ Make your TechAssist database better!
