Hello all. I have a 20 year old set that was killer in it's day. Heck, it cost
me
a grand that long ago.

The problem that developed today is that the picture is well, shimmering
would be the best description. It affects the geometry and the color and both
kind of waver.

The question is whether or not it's worth repairing or to trash it. If I can fi
nd a
schematic, a friend of mine is pretty good at fixing TV's, if he has the time.
Any idea in general, what went south on this TV? Yesterday it still had a great
picture. Thanks!

Sounds like a simple degaussing coil thermister, I replace mine on my
KV2786R twice already.
It the little black box (not the relay) where the AC cord meets the main
board......has 3 pins.costs $2

Waving a soldering gun **NOT AN IRON (wile pulling the trigger) or tape head
de-magnetizer around the edges of the screen will temporarily "comb" it out
if the case "confirm"

Does this set have a "H-stat"?

If so, this old post of mine may help:

Please remove one 'i' from my address when replying by email.

Start by replaceing the degaussing thermosistor.

I am sure that because of the age of the set, there must be many
capacitors that have become high in ESR. The CRT is most likely going
soft.

It is coming time to let the set bite the dust, and start shopping for
a new one. TV has changed a lot since that set was made.

This is a Sony, surely it worth the repair if the C.R.T. is in good shape.

Thanks Jim. For some reason I tried, but Google gurgled.

RP: Funny you should say that, because it kinda looked like a magnetized
CRT except that it flutters. Usually, an affected CRT would look like a tie-dye
shirt.

If I find the part number, where can I order the thermistor? Thanks.

I have one in the family room. This is a second TV in the living room for the
kids when I'm watching HBO.

Actually, it's amazing that the picture is still quite good when it works and
was a killer in it's day. When I look back, it was actually worth the 1K price.
It was interesting to see the same TV used as a monitor on local stations
during news broadcasts back then.

Thanks for your response, Jerry. I'm sure the electrolytics have dried out by
now. I plan on checking for any bulging or leaking E-caps.
I get a chance to open it up,
