So, it turns out I didn't entirely lose video as I thought. Maybe a loose connection or some sort of operator error. I got an Eico 633 CRT tester/rejuvenator yesterday and hooked it up to my CRT. Some of the leakage and continuity tests were on the edge and the quality test was well into the red and the life test caused a ~50% drop. So, I did the first boost procedure and retested and whaddya know, now on the high end of green and the life test drops it less than 5%! Wowsers. And no, I don't expect it to last forever.
Turned the set on and the pic was indeed brighter! However, everything was color inverted, black was white and white was black. I'm guessing that is my dying modulator, which is indeed having issues. Are there any other causes of color inversion?
Another interesting thing: After rejuvenation, the picture now fills the screen. Any ideas why that would be?
Thanks!
Jonathan
