Biggest problem with my "good one" is something heat sensitive in the vert circuit that causes a lot of drift until it's good and warmed up. I've replaced the tubes and caps, not sure if I started replacing resistors or not. That set hasn't been turned on in probably 3 years
Happen to have any parts sets? I could use a brightness pot for mine....someone at some point installed a pot with a different shaft, probably replacing one that was defective.
