Yes it can knock the shadow mask loose. With the TV on , displaying problem, bump the side of cabinet with your hand. If the shadow mask is loose 9 times of 10 the color will flag.

Once straight down to the floor and then it fell off his stand onto it's back. I found the CRT board cracked, I repaired it and the set fired right up. On the left side of the picture there is no red. When I put in a full red raster the left 8" is green! > Here's the question...Can dropping a set cause the shadow mask in the CRT to move or otherwise knock the guns out of alignment? Has anyone heard of this before? > > Jim > Maxfield Electronics > Northfield, NH 03276 > USA > sandman@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > > > ------------------------------------------ > Make your TechAssist database better! > Submit Repair Tips here: http://www.tech-assist.org/secure/tip/ > ------------------------------------------ > To UNSUBSCRIBE your email address, click here: > mailto:techassist-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe > Or send a BLANK email with unsubscribe in the > SUBJECT field to the address above. > ------------------------------------------ Make your TechAssist database better!
