Go to the member pages, find the Sony RA-6 chassis and ask for a
download of the schematic.

Subject: [TechAssist] Sony KP-61HS30 Chassis RA-6 Gets Darker and
Darker....

  Hi Y'all...

 This set starts out with a nice, normal picture, but
as it plays, it gets darker and darker, to the point
where it's hard to see. The set is only about three or
four years old, but I inspected it for bad solder at
the interconnects between the sweep and signal PCB's
and it looks good.
 I can warm the area around the jungle chip (IC309
from a cold start and produce the effect more rapidly
than through normal playing, especially if I directly
warm IC309. If I cool IC309, the brightness returns
almost immediately. Problem is, I already replaced it
for that reason, and the problem remains.
 I just found out today that I could also get pretty
much the same effect by stimulating the surrounding
chip transistors and a couple of 'lytics near it
(Q374, Q367, C488, C494).Replaced those also, no help.

  I don't have a schematic and the customer is getting
upset.  Has anyone seen this before or have any
Sony-inspired advice?  

  TIA
