Friend of mine got this a few years back, got some convergence IC kit online and I soldered it in for him. It fixed THAT probem, but the color has been looking worse. I told him I never worked on these but would try so he could go flattie shopping with no regrets.
. Got the pins figured and hooked each color tube up to the CRT tester.
One funny thing is the heater draws so little current that it runs at 8V when the rheo is at minimum.
These CRTs don't quite cut off and all colors show strong emissions despite the green picture looking like a total fuzzy gas-bag CRT.
Tried the clean (AC between cathode and G1) and then said F*** it and hit the REJ, noting a bit of current. No visible changes when we fired it up.
My prognosis, don't bother with these. This set is over 10 years old and was used at a gym, so hours killed it. I always see these at the curb for a few days then the urban urchins destroy them. No loss, just had to find out for m-self.
