I always inform the customer on these that if this reoccurs additional parts may need to be replaced. Our policy on return service calls like this is to charge only for additional repair time and parts and not an additional service call fee. So far I haven't got any return calls on these. I always follow up with a call to the customer 90 days after the repair and so far so good. The oldest one I can recall has been about a year and a half ago. Most of the sets that I have seen this occur on had the flicker issue repaired (3 CRT replacement) about a year previously. In my estimation this is happening either because of component drift over time or incorrectly set screen controls. If the screens aren't set in a completely dark environment they can be left high enough to where they become visible with minor component drift.

You either need to change the screen focus pack or rejuvenate or change the red tube. I have seen all three failures. I have never gotten by by adjusting the screen. same way on tabletop Sony's that the picture blanks out. You can get by and cheat and adjust the screen, but the set will come back to you or another shop sooner or later. I have gone behind many shops that just adjusted the screen. that is not a fix in my opinion.
