Originally was dead. I replaced an STK730-010, shorted CR4106, and fuse. Played days OK. Customer called, said it would turn off, and on again, like a power outtage. then OK. Maybe do this 3-6 times a night. Said it went out, this time he smelled something and saw a bit of smoke come out. here in shop, I checked it over, 9fuse, HOT good,etc) then I plugged it in, powered it on with a full good picture/sound EXCEPT: a horizontal "pie crusting" throughout the picture. I see no evidence of anything overheated. Customer is, of course "dismayed and saddened" by this "disturbing" turn of events. Need asstsiance please! Phil Bader -- Philip Bader Jan Phyl TV Inc.
