Issue with a 27" Sony from 1991

Go to the hoz drive transformer (HDT) remove the solder & start
fresh. Go over the rest like you did before. Dont forget to do around
the pin amp & pin transformer. Also any metal rails that act as grounds.
Only width problems I ever had on this vintage Sony was the HDT
& a few pin problems.
If that dont do it post a few chassis photos & one of us can
help you I am sure.

I'll try the re-soldering first. I'll pay attention to the Hz driver transformer. I've seen issues with this transformer many times on non-sony sets.

I've got to get the set down off of a 7 foot tall shelf.


Zeno, the only problems I remember with these sets was the power supply failure problem. I stopped working at the box store when these Sony's were about 3 years old.

I know of several sets like mine around here, and mine is the only one that is still going.

I have not run my set constantly like they did.

If its the set I think it is there were 4 caps in the supply that would
crack open, short & blow the 2 converters. Did piles of them.
If you get the bad cons in the drive you will blow the hoz
output sooner than later & it will take the converters & fusable.
Only other thing on them was a few tuners & flybacks.
A very good set all & all.
Good luck with her.
