Actually, Kip, don't you think it would be in IK blanking if it were a bad
CRT? If there is nothing else wrong, a Sony like this one should blank if
it can't balance the three IK pulses. I have seen them do this with a bad
VCJ or bad IK buffer.

I inherited a '98 Sony KV35v36 - 35" television with a color problem.
Basicly, the green is not bright enough. I got ahold of the service
and adjustment manuals and have a test DVD from Avia. If I display the
green-only test pattern, the result is a dark green screen - compared
to bright green on another working TV. Yellow-only looks orange-ish
and the cyan test looks roughly the same as blue. Red and Blue by
themselves looks good - as well as magenta.

There is also a color pattern on the disc with reds, greens, blues of
varying brightness. The reds and blues look the same as compared to a
working tv, but there is no change in the greens.

I haven't opened the set yet and thought someone might be able to point
me in the right direction to look first. I'm hoping to be able to fix
this as the set has some nice features - dual tuner picture-in-picture,
ect.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions/help.

Glen.
