Larry,I did a search in my techCD for ptk195+convergence and pasted anything maybe useful. RCA~PTK195~Convergence intermittently pops out~~~PTK195~Fluid leak…causing Q19324 to short~~~~~~ RCA~PTK195~PINCUSHION* NO CONVERGENCE* NO CONV MENU~~~~R19703(750K-1/4W* 193334)* U19700(STK730-130* 215530)~~~~~~ RCA~P4611LV~Int convergence shift and also bowed slightly from top and bottom-usually acts up aft 5 to 10 minutes~Can correct per customer by turning set off and on sometimes takes several times to correct~~PTK195AA~Bad connections on conv power board especially on L703~~~~~~ RCA~P61960YX1 PTK195Y06T~Total convergence loss or poor convergence~Found no power coming from convergence power supply. Removed convergence yoke plugs one at a time to isolate possible amplifier overload.~Found overload caused by blue convergence amp. Power supply now functions~PTK195Y06T~Found R19344 located off emitter of Q19349 DIFF AMP- BLUE HORIZ measured 18K instead of 9.1K. Replace R19344 (9.1K 1/4W)(176888)~~~~~~ RCA~P52812AB PTK195AB~Dead set after replacing convergence IC~~~PTK195AB~In this case* disconnected main board from convergence* start set and tried to start but clicked rapidly~Slowly connected convergence board and once all connectors were in place set worked.~Possibly unit's convergence EEPROM was corrupted and got reset.~~~~ RCA~PTK195~Loss of convergence appearing as a pincushion defect along with no convergence menu item~~~~Q19338 (227406) on the convergence PCB~The power supply was actually shutting down due to excessive current~~~~~ HTH, Phil Philip Bader Jan Phyl TV Inc.
