From the look of it, it seems we have the same tuner problem, the thing drifts like hell to the point that its imposible to watch something if the AFT function is not turned on.

Oh and by the way could a moderator change the title of the thread to "identify" instead of "identified"...it makes my eyes bleed haha

Update :

I plugged the CRT tester to it and yep, the CRT pings my B & K at 1.1 on the scale for all the guns so its in the good section, so not a problem. But the TV has a few problems and here they are;

- I have to put brightness and contrast all the way up to get a bright enough picture.
- Even with the sound swith all the way down I get a buzzing sound from the speaker and moving up and down gives a really jerky sound. (could it mean that the speaker is busted?)
- I get intermitent flickers on the screen.

I cleaned all the pots and switches on the front hopping it would solve most of the issues, but if anything it made it worst (at least for the sound) and not much else changed.

Also is the pot labeled "Brightness Limiter" at the back of the TV the same as adjusting the G2 voltage on a more modern flyback? If its the case, it is also maxed out.

What do you guys think?

Thanks!
