A scope can be handy as mentioned. Years ago I had a Zenith 24MC32 that had three "very transparent" vertical bars running through it and they were not always noticable. There was no sweep distortion so I believed it had to be in the video somewhere. I was still quite the novice back then so I lived with 'em...
Sounds like your brother may be handy too!

Thing is, I have to lift one end to remove it from the circuit for testing. I think I'll go the scope route and if that doesn't work, I'll live with the bars. I can see myself doing more damage if I start poking around with a big soldering gun.
