Thanks for the advice. I'll try those suggestions and see if I can get some life out of this piece of garbage. This board has a mess load of glass diodes and surface mounted caps on the underside.
I think the reason people buy this crap is because they are unaware that Sylvania (or Zenith, RCA, etc) is just a meaningless name. They think that because their '70's Sylvania GT Matic console lasted until 2007; then, a new Sylvania product will be just as good (or better). It's a pretty safe bet that people would not buy the junk if it had "Funai" stamped on it. I think I read somewhere that the Magnavox name is now being plastered on that Chinese crap. I guess Philips finally washed their hands of Magnavox. I just spoke to a man that just purchased a new 32" Magnavox CRT flat screen set. He says the picture is not near as good as his '80 Magnavox console once was. BTW, I may wind up with that '80 model. It has a T815 chassis; but, the CRT is about gone. I guess I'll sit it next to the other Maggie I have with a weak CRT.
