I havent seen this specific symptom related to what follows but these sets are notorious for bad connections on the yokes. Usually have vertical shutdown symptom--or vert lines in pic before shutdown. No reason to believe the horiz connections couldnt have failed first. I allways solder all of the connections when doing them. Some here have said to pull the yolks to do the job, I have allways found that unneccesary. I have allways been able to solder the yokes inplace--albeit--blindly--then verify the work with a mirror. Generally have to go back and redo one connection per job BEFORE plugging in. OT: I spent night in hospital--I'm looking at another stint. I've had 3 heart attacks---brought back to life once--qty (2) 5 bypass surgeries--I'll be 46 this sept. Doc in emergency room remembered me from Jan 2000 when I expired while he was asking me if I had any pain---scared the heck out of him---funny thing was---I was really calm---I had just said the sinners prayer. It took all of this to bring me to the lord, I am born again. Baptized under water in fall of 2000. Now I am on the board of directors on a new christian college. I may be the next chaplain of my marine corp league, and am unofficial counsler of the young marine detachment. Everyday I thank the lord for another beautiful day whether its an ice storm or tornado like winds. Sorry to go off topic like this--just felt the need to edify. Heres an anolgy for technicians that believe in evolution. Human evolution the way we are supposed to believe it, would be comparable to throwing a truckload 1950's japanese transistor radios into a factory--let lighting hit it for a few million years---and out comes a plasma tv. Cmon now---more funny than technically equivelent.
