Well, I finally got around to ordering the vertical IC for this Sony and it should be here in a few days.
Today, a lady gave me a KV-20FV300 that also had a vertical failure. The vertical IC, an AN5522, was also bad, along with the 220uf boost cap that often fails in many brands and takes the IC with it. The cap measured 180uf with high ESR. I'm waiting on an IC for that one (it was only $4.99 with free shipping from ebay and they claim it's a Matsushita original). Someone scratched off the date on the back of the set; but, I'm guessing it's from the early 2000's.
