Get your ESR meter out and start checking all the electrolytic caps in the
set. Check out the vertical deflection and power supply circuits.

Greetings Gadget Gurus...

I've searched the archives but found nothing on the
subject...

I have a 1989 Mitsu projection tv model VS-5002R (51")
that won't come on. It makes a clicking sound like it's
trying, and will flash lines of color after several
attempts, but something won't quite catch. The problem
was intermittent but it now seems thoroughly cooked.

A friend thought it may be magnet related but that's as
much as anyone's been able to offer so far.

Any clues/hints/thoughts/speculations/conjectures are
appreciated.

N.

PS: please reply here - thanks!
