All right! Congratulations on the fix and the strong CRT!
I had imagined the channel number was via OSD on this one... It doesn't have OSD in addition to the built-in readout, does it? (I guess that would be like wearing a belt and suspenders...) I can't tell if that's LEDs or a vacuum fluorescent display, what is it? (I've seen both on Sonys with green channel number readouts, usually VFDs on the older models and LEDs on the newer ones.)
I suppose you could confirm or rule out the smearing is coming from the IF section by hooking up a DVD player or VCR to the video input. Probably just a bad electrolytic somewhere, the hard part is tracking it down...
