Hi well I am having no luck at all I have checked and checked all voltages and all seems to be o k.
I am not the smartest person when it comes to using a scope but what I can see is the patterns look good on the scope. I cannot figure what is happening. You are correct when the contrast is up high the scanning lines pinch up and turn bright and the line is lost to the bright line, turn the contrast down and it will stretch back out normal. I think I will take off a while and maybe when I come back to it I will find something. The set could use a alignment but I don't have the generator to do that. I don't think alignment would fix the problem. Oh well I guess I will find something. Any help will be appreciated.
