Well, the reason I'm fooling with this set is that it has become a
challenge
for me. Up to now it has given excellent service. Bought it back in '91
for the bedroom so I would have something to occupy my time while
recovering
from old fashioned type gall bladder surgery.

I'm retired now, so there is time available to work on this beast. It
might
whip me, but not without a good fight.

Trouble is I'm an amateur tinkerer; however, I do know that the pros hang
out on this board and are an enormous help to "shade tree" technicians
like
me. Thank goodness there are people like you out there who are willing to
share their considerable knowledge and experience with the rest of us.


If it's a 25" it's entirely possible the CRT has shorted and taken something
else out, guess it won't hurt to fiddle with it if you want though, just
beware dumping money into parts that may blow up in short order.
