This set gave me some real problems. I post this to maybe save someone the headache I now have. The lines on the screen, when present, looked like interference lines--quite pronounced. Not like retrace. Tap on the tuner, good pix returned, but not always. I pulled the tuner, a BAM0010, and resoldered it. There were some questionable places, especially on the ground plane. Problem remained. Pulled it and resoldered again. No joy. Found a junk chassis with a broken board and good tuner. Put that one in. Problem still there. Finally found the problem, although I have never seen it before. Cracked connections on the vertical output, IC451, LA7837. Of course I have seen many hundreds of cracked connections on a vertical o/p, but have never seen it cause interferrence type lines over the whole screen. Hope this helps some of you...
