Hmm. Would have tried that earlier if I knew that.
But all 3 colors smear far as I can tell.
I'm leaning towards the IC myself. Question is... I have a CTC 146 chassis with that same IC, but that chassis doesn't work. I have no idea if that IC is good or not. Also no idea if the CRT is good or not.
You know, unless a red flag comes up I might just swap the CRT's tomorrow, and just see what happens. If it fails it fails, but at least I'll know.
After that it's probably a smart idea to hunt down a NOS u1001 IC.
and if that doesn't fix it I might just throw it in the trash and wait for another one to come along.
