This is generaly from failing parts in the pin cushening amp section.
It is also possible that other parts are wearing out from age in the
power supply and the scan section.

This is not something you can fix yourself, unless you are skilled at
troubleshooting TV sets, and are equiped to do the service work.

I would suggest you give the set out for a proper estimate, so you can
make an intelligent decision to service the set or not. Using the set
like this may cause more damage.

Fix your Date and Time

Hello,
My Grundig XS70/S (CUC6360) suddenly shows a very narrow picture with
the left and right sides as arcs making the picture look like this: )(
with large black areas in each side.
I believe this problem in danish is refered to as "vandret billedhold",
directly translated it would be called something like "horizontal
picture hold".
How can I fix this?

Also, the Text TV and internal menu system of the tv is only sharp the
first 2 minutes after power on. It then becomes more and more shaky and
unclear, leaving it completely unreadable.
My only guess could be of dried out capacitors or creaping currents due
to dirt..
Please advise!

Kind Regards
Jens

Thanks Jerry,
Though I'm electronically educated, I'm definitely not a tv-repair man,
so I think I'll get a grip of myself, and try not to get in even more
trouble by trying to fix the problem myself.

Thanks for your fast advice

/Jens
