Russ, I have always felt Sony set thetheir IK cut off too sensitive. I would bet the CRT is aging. You can try slightly advancing the G2 on the fly and see,this sometimes helps. As a test, I used to jumper the CRT filament resistor to increase the CRT fil. voltage. This increases CRT emission and the IK will not blank. But, this shortens the CRT life (I mean to weeks!) so don't leave it that way. Or here's a mod that is supposed to work: cut and pasted from email archives. Finally, a simple way to defeat the IK problem. > >>************************************************************** > >> > >>Take three 18K resistors and connect one end of each to the Red , Green >and >>> >>Blue Cathodes , the solder the other ends all together. >>> >> >>> >>This works perfect , you can see the image come up as the filaments warm >> >> >up. >>> >> >>> >>Image looks like crap because of the dead green cathode BUT picture is= >> >> not >>>> >>flashing....and that is all the customer wanted.. >>> Philip Bader Jan Phyl TV Inc.
