Zenith Sentry TV/Monitor
Hello, all. I have a circa 1991 Zenith Sentry 2 TV model SJ206585 that
still has a great picture but there are diagonal lines (not retrace lines) that are present in the picture regardless of channel. They look like the pattern one used to see on old sets when the horizontal sweep wasn't locked but in this case they are superimposed on what would otherwise be a perfect picture. Does anyone know what might be the cause? Thanks for your time and comment. Sincerely, |

If you can find the 'blanking' adjustment, tweak it. If there's no blanking adjustment, it's time to tweak the high voltage adjustment called (usually) 'screen'. It's likely that contrast will get lots better when this is done correctly. Don't let the shadow detail get lost, though. |

But as I pointed out in my OP they are definitely not retrace lines. The lines are grouped into sets of a specific pattern and that are inclined at an angle (relative to horizontal) much greater than that observed with retrace lines. Some Googling on Sentry model sets indicates that a capacitor may be the culprit reponsible for the picture artifacts. I realize it's difficult to provide advice when one can't see the actual pattern but again, thanks.
