Well, it wasn't the crystal
Sorry for late reply.
It's gone back to intermittent
I think it's something temperature related. It has NEVER lost color in the first 10 minutes of being on, and never with the cover off.
No time to dig into it right now, been messing patching a crack in my foundation before snow on the ground - also been working on new project, '69 Ford F-250 a friend wanted to get rid of. It opens a world of opportunity for getting consoles, etc.
Plus, I'm enjoying how my 6 yr old daughter responds to the loss of color.. before she'd complain, now she turns the fine tuning a touch and makes it work, ever 10 minutes. Somehow that's just enough to get the color osc. going again.
