Reducing | contrast causes the RED/BLUE to approach normal geometry, Green doesn't seem | to be affected, and adjusting the screen control has the same effect...... | If I didn't see it myself in the customer's home I wouldn't have believed | it.....but sometime ago the trainers mentioned an internal grid tied to the | HV section and it is used to >>help/assist<< in converging the color. | | Page 41 of the Sony schematic show a resistor array tying several grids to | HV, and I'm pretty sure that's the circuit I'm dealing with.....but if | anybody has more info about this, it would help me get a better grasp as to | what is going on. | | I ran several tests on the CRT, including checking geometry/yoke. While I | heard what sounded like corona hiss around the yoke, pulling the yoke | revealed no arc/char spots....but boy was the tape on the crt neck toasty | looking. | | I just can't state that the CRT is BAD, mostly because the Green isn't | affected at all, the picture has good geometry, and the red/blue is affected | ELECTRICALLY. I'm looking for a part....or an electronic signal out of | whack. | | | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- | Lost Password: | http://www.tech-assist.org and select "Login Problems?". | Email Archives: | //www.freelists.org/archives/techassist/ | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lost Password: http://www.tech-assist.org and select "Login Problems?".
