No Color , check CR4118 for less than 12 Volts. 80% vert deflection on a previously repaired Vert circuit could be CR4713 and CR4702 off pin 5 of IHVT (neg side of 26v supply), pin 8 is 26v to vert op amp, it has l4702 and r4701 in parallel (10 ohm). Pin 7 of IHVT produces a 90v h-pulse and connects to r4542 (5100 ohm) to cr4501 to pin 2 of u4501....check cr4512 6.2v zener in parallel with this signal line (pulse limiter/clipper). Same 90v pulse goes to vert height pot r4522 to smd 4514 (51 k ohm) to cr4502 to smd rt4501 (thermistor) to smd r4507 (910 kohm) to base of darlinton q4506 which is the vert ramp limiter. The emitter then goes to smd r4509 to pin 3 of vert op amp u4501. Most likely failure is the vert supply diodes, also check cr4701 and c4703 on that same line as it supplies 200 v to the crt and may be loading down the vert supply. hth Damon Brunger damon101@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Telrad Electronic Services Ft Wayne, IN 46815 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Doug Keller" <dek@xxxxxxxxxx> To: "TechAssist" <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, May 14, 2002 11:23 AM Subject: [TechAssist] RCA PTK169PGB mod#P52731WK > > This thing has turned into a nightmare.
