Good pictures !

Yah a lot of people here don't like the last gen crt sets, but they do represent the best
and worst of the crt years..... Best as in for the size, they make a great picture, low
power useage, very compact circuit designs, and for the most part pretty reliable.
The worst of it is the cheap parts used made many die too soon, and of course the
gov's campaign to get the ekonim'e going "replace all yer electronics regularly - It's all
got lead in it!" BS kinda puts a bad taint on keeping crt sets... You know the lead is
gunna leak out and make yer kids dumb....

Ran mine regularly for the last 2 days... Fri-picture collapsed, turned it off then on,
and it finished the day ok.... Sat. no issues at all and it ran longer..... Now I'm thinking
it's a bad solder joint..... I'm gunna run it tonight and whack it a few times, see what
happens..... Otherwise I got another set to put there temp. till I work on this
one. Move all that stuff, the couch, wires converters, VCR's and give that
area a shot with the vacuum - scare off those dust bunnies....

Good to see you got that set working- Looks very good !
