Hello,

I picked up a used Toshiba 27af44 from craigslist and I noticed that it has this "jitter" interference on the screen. It happens on all inputs and I tried an SNES and a PS2 and they both showed the same type of jitter. What could be the cause of this? Here are a few videos of the problem. It was kinda hard to capture with my phone camera but hopefully it will give you some idea of what the issue is.
thanks.

Most likely the power supply isnt regulating its pretty subtle
so wont be easy to find. A photo of the back or the chassis
would help as Toshiba went from building there own to having
Orion A.K.A. Emerson build them. Also if it has a chassis number
post that, format is TAC-####
Good Luck

That model has a number of small capacitors in the power supply. I've seen a lot of strange problems when one or more open.

Here is a picture of the back:

I had a feeling it might be capacitor related. Do you guys thinking recapping will fix it? I'd like to keep this TV, it'd be great for my retrogaming setup. Other than a slight tilt, it has the best geometry I've seen from a consumer level flat CRT, and I've had a few in my time...

I have an Emerson that was made by Funai, a 20" around the same age.
I have an older Toshiba 19" table model ca 1990, assembled in USA that has an RCA CRT and a Gold Star chassis. :scratch2:
