Weird magnavox console tv problem
 

I just got an old 1992 console tv, about 27" color with remote, black
and white PIP, and B&W freeze frame. The onscreen display always looks
fine, but the picture from either the antenna or rca video in sometimes
is very dark or static or otherwise funky. Sometimes it works fine
though. The audio always works fine.

I have the manual if you need some specs. Any information helpfull.

Desolder the PIP module and remove c4 ,a 4volt electrolytic cap. Clean
the goo off the board and any corrosion and install a new cap. Chuck

As Chuck stated, & also POSSIBLY a 100 uf @ 250 volt capacitor by the
flyback.
Depends on what model it is. Dani.
