FOR TV SET'S WITH JUST A BUZZ......POSSIBLE FIX.... Mechanical buzz coming from YOKE. To confirm, collapse vertical scan by obtaining a service LINE. If the buzz stops, the YOKE is most likely the cause of the noise. Various styles of yokes are used and can exhibit this symptom. In all cases the problem is eliminated by using HOT Melt Glue [ Make sure GLUE is rated for ELECTRONIC APPLICATIONS ] on any part of the yoke where there is metal to plastic contact. It may be necessary to force the glue into any gaps between metal and plastic frames to eliminate buzz. On some versions of yoke, some metal components [ such as the corner shunts ] maybe covered with tape. Locate the four SPRING Steel " CORNER SHUNTS " on yoke. The SHUNTS are located at the front plastic portions of the yoke at... 10..2...4...and 8 o'clock positions. They may be covered by gray cloth tape. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THE CORNER SHUNTS. 1. IF present, remove and discard the tape coverings from shunts. 2. Place the unit face down..on a cloth...being careful not to scratch the cabinet or tube face. 3. Cover the corner shunts and surrounding plastic with HOT MELT GLUE [ available at most electronic parts suppliers]. Force glue into noticeable AIR gaps between the SPRING steel corner shunts and the Plastic they are mounted on. RTV silicon compound is NOT recommended for this repair since it remains pliable after curing and may still cause vibrating. MONTE MONCRIEF BAKERSFIELD, CA.
