Cool. So why would he need to bring it to the shop? I just need a reason why he doesn't fix it at the house.
Does this sound okay?
=================
A few years earlier, Mrs. Amato blew almost eight hundred bucks of her late husband's insurance on the '58 RCA Anderson with the CTC-7C chassis and complained when all her shows weren't in color. He explained most shows weren't broadcast in color and she should save her money and return it for a nice black and white set. Nope. She wanted to be ready for the color revolution. She'd read in Life it was coming.
Her problem was, "The picture's messed up. It looks smaller and it's got a black bar that keeps rolling up and the sides are wiggly." A shrunken raster, hum bar, and S-bend. At her house, he tried replacing the 5U4s, but that didn't fix the problem, so he brought it back to the shop.
While Yoyo was out of his hair, he sat down with the heavy monster. It had 28 tubes, drew 380 watts of power, and had over 22 kilovolts of zapping power. Once he was familiar with its layout, he found the problem--a dry C104-A and C015-A. He replaced the main filter capacitors, and the set ran good as new.
=====================
Also, I'd like to use the vacuuming/degaussing problem noted earlier. I can use it later in the story. Would this work? (I'll rewrite it for the scene. I just want the facts straight.)
=========================
Mrs. Amato was vacuuming and degaussed the picture tube, creating a swirling rainbow mess on the screen as she moved the sweeper back and forth. With no degausser circuit on the CTC-7, the image was stained. To restore purity, he used a demagnetizing coil.
========================
Would he do this at her home or would he have to bring the set to the shop?
Thanks. Merci beaucoup. Mucho gratias.
