This is Turtle.

I was over at alt.home.repair and some fellows over there said this was
the
place where all the brains was hiding out on repair of electronics
equipment.

I have a RCA tv Model # 36668 / serial # 049622039 / Chassis #
CTC-203CA5
and about 3 or 4 years old. The problem is the picture will not show
light
enough to see tv views at nite at all. The faces will not show up if it is
dark time when viewing the picture. I've tried britting up the picture but
it just stays too dark to see the pictures at nite time on the shows. When
there is game show on it , it shows up good because of all the lites in
the
show room where they are but start watching a show of people in dark area,
You just can't see their faces well at all. This started about a week ago
and has staied the same everysince.

I really need to know is to bring it to a shop about 40 miles away and
wait
a week to see what is wrong with it and be told to buy a new one. If I
knew
it could be fixed for couple hundred dollars i would wait a week and have
it
repaired. What i don't want to do is wait a week and not have TV for a
week
to find out. It can't be fixied and to buy a new one. I think I give $700
something for it and did not want to spend $700 something repairing it. I
don't mine waiting if this is a repairiable problem for say $200.00 or
$300.00 but not a $700.00 problem. I'm in the HVAC business and answer
question over at alt.hvac and hope you guys will answer my question here.

I don't mine spending the time and money fooling with it if this is a
repairiable problem. I can let my brother in law work on it but he has let
the smoke out of the last two that I let him work on. After he let the
smoke
out of it . It never worked again. You just can let the Smoke out of them
at
all and still work again.

If you'll could give me a good ideal of this problem . i would thank you
very much.

This is Turtle again.

I took the advice of Jason D. , Ronk650, and Greyhound and took out my
trusty screw driver and turn the S screw 1/4 of a turn and picture became
very good and pretty as can be. I would like to say Thank you all very much
and if you need any words / advice on Air conditioning or refrigeration from
1/8 of a ton to 150 tons please e-mail me and I will be happy to discuss it
with you.

Thank you again.
