on the "to do " list next time the chassis is out.

Replace R70 (out of tol) , & C31,R71 just to be sure, they are most likely OK , but new parts won't hurt, hopefully this can cure the retrace problem.

Inspect delay line VERY closely, checking for any damage at the grounding point, and see if repair/ replace needed, re-connect ground to OEM position, similar to as seen in GE chassis. Replace L13 that had been slightly damaged with NOS RCA part. Replace R64 with new 2% part, it's most likely OK, but while I have it out, why not, inspect L15/L15, they are on the topside of the PCB, and unlikely to be bad.

Check remaining original orange drop caps for leakiness.
Replace focus resistor & cap.
Fix the damn loose connection on the heater pin on the socket of the HOT.

I did manage to view the entire DVD , Watchmen Director's Cut, this weekend with it, and I saw no macrovision problems whatsoever, I'm not sure if it was because of the player used, or the DVD, or because I was using direct A/V input, but it was very stable, no problems at all.
