We thought customer was describing the common Sony PTV sides distortion requiring replacement of the two STK convergence IC's.When we got there it was not. The sides were simply narrow.(4-6 inches approx.each side)Not enough width.WE pulled the electronics box into the shop.(removes like the RCA's)As technical help suggested we checked C510 (.015/1.4KV),C512 (3mfd/200v),C502,C522,C529 and grommet connection EY51.Just for the heck of it, changed C522 and C569 both 33mfd/160V.All seemed OK with all mentioned parts. I ESR'd all caps on converg. board. I measured the +5,-5,+15,-15 volt reg IC outputs on converg. board. All right on.Now here's the thing.We MAY have fixed the trouble.Seems like it's wider that it was,tho we are observing it on a white 4X4 foot screen we suspend at an angle from the ceiling.Not perfect conditions to confirm width. I'm thinking we must haul the case in also.Is there anything documented for this symptom I've overlooked? Desperate in Winter Haven -Phil Bader -- Philip Bader Jan Phyl TV Inc.
