Good Afternoon,

I think rewinding that coil is not a good idea.... I think at this point you should think
about 2 possibilities. 1. The incoming burst signal is distorted because of a bad part,
or there is the other possibility, 2. A19 is not tuned to the burst signal..... I thought
about this a lot, and found stuff written about this group of circuits to refresh my
memory on every inch of these circuits. None of the circuit descriptions go into
"restoration" and replacing parts because they are believed to be out of
tolerance. So when you consider the large number of parts replaced in
this tv, I bet there are lots of circuits somewhat out of tune.

As of right now I have not seen a post where anyone has said A19 has been adjusted
for anything..... I wonder if that coil should be adjusted to see if it's out of tune and
causing the burst signal to be off by a little bit.

Back to A18, Timmy can you take that out and send us a good close up picture of it?
While I'm a fan of replacing parts that are out of spec, this one is only out of spec
as far as it's DC resistance goes..... You really need an Inductance Tester Gadget
of some kind to tell if it's Mili-Henry's or Micro-Henry's are out of whack, or not.
And wouldn't ya know it, Sam's don't give it's value.....

I would say, that if you really want to rewind that coil, make a new one, but
keep that one as is - for when the replacement don't work....

Timmy, I think over the course of this thread you said you have a color bar generator?
If that is true, it may be time to get it out, set it up, run it through the tuner, and
try adjusting the tv Color & Tint to show them as they should look, I think third
from the right is suppose to be magenta - Kinda like Purple.... I think you
should try and set this up and see if you can figure out if there is actually
a color - or several colors that are not being reproduced properly. And
with a color bar on the screen try and adjust A19, and see what
happens..... I would think turning it would kinda make the
color saturation go up & down as it's passing the burst...
So you would be peaking the coil for burst signal....

Possibility 3. This is all wrong..... Problem is in
some other part.....
