This old console has a 9-160 main board,9-149 space command,9-222 tuner control (has relay). I pushed and pushed the power button to no avail.After probiing all the interconnected cables I retried and it came on with a vertically stretched picture. Removed the vert board 9-152-01. ESR'd caps, replaced C2164 910mf/100v) and C2131 (47mf/35v). this cured the linearity. Reinstalled it and all is working. Question to the ol timers! Is there any known issues with a "hard to turn" on symptom? Start up cap? I know this is vague but an old set with a possible intermittant.Ugh. Phil Bader -- Philip Bader Jan Phyl TV Inc.
