I still have the bowed picture and no output from the converg. power supply board.I ordered another STK730-130. Before I install it, I found an open 1 watt resistor on the same board: R19717. Bands LOOK like brn-blk-brn , but can't be sure. need value. Phil Bader Philip Bader Jan Phyl TV Inc. (estab. 1976) 3420 Recker Hwy.
