Hi !

Before going into any further guessing about a possible cause of your problem.....
I think we should clarify what you are seeing..... You say you have the
contrast turned way down, (to the left) but to turn it up, washes out the
picture.... To me washing out the picture means almost no contrast, as if
the picture were almost all gray, no sharp black and white....

This action is almost the exact opposite of what we expect when turning
either the contrast knob to the right (up) or turning the AGC knob up.....

Turning either of those knobs should produce an almost "overloaded"
picture, too much light for the bright areas, and too much dark for the
dark areas.....

When you turn the contrast "up" would you still say that the picture gets
even less contrast...?
