Default Help appreciated - Image size fluctuates on direct view CRT

Hello, bosoxchamps!

b Thanks for the info. Any guess as to how moving the TV might have
b introduced such a problem. I can't see how you could damage anything in
b the power supply section during moving the TV.

Obviously I can only guess from here, but rough handling can shake a
connector or even crack a board. As a previous poster said, maybe a bad
solder joint was made worse. It seems certain that an incident happened in
transit, and it's just that given the symptoms (fluctuating picture size )
my first thought was voltage regulation. PS if voltage regulation is the
issue, I would expect the size variations to co-incide with bright picture
content ie: when there is a larger area of bright picture the current
demand goes up and if the regulation is poor the PSU can't cope so the scan
is reduced.
Best of Luck,
Pete
