heh! I hear ya and I will check. I can hear my Uncle (the repairman) telling me from the grave "SEE! you should have left well enough alone" He used to get ticked because when a set came into the shop, and it had alot of use, me or my Grandpa would check EVERY tube and replace the bad ones. He always would fix the specific problem and tell us that by doing what we were doing, that it may cause more problems the set didn't have to begin with. Guess I didn't learn. This set has a TON of use on it, but the boards don't seem brittle. If the set was this glitchy no wonder the people kept a service contract on it for years. This is the set I bought of eBay for $310.00 that I discovered had the picture tube changed with a brand new one in 1977 under the service contract. I don't think the sellers I got it from had it on much. I shouldn't expect so much out of a 41 year old tv, but still....... Also my convergence is a tad off but I'm not even going to mess with that! I'll see if I can con a tech in the area to do it!
