i got it working!baffled me but for some stange reason,the wires on the on/off switch came loose and the set wouldnt power up.i resoldered and it still didnt power up.exchanged the on/manual switch and the same result.found a blown fuse in the remote module.replaced and bam!set powered up with a dim,blurry picture.looked like a bad crt.after 15 minutes,the crt came to life.working well but then a flickering and now it has a loss of contrast.i turned up the agc and it has a very good picture for now.the contrast control doesnt work very much and its backwards.it was working properly when i first powered up.now it has a slight range and again,it is backwards.convergence is so-so with room for improvement.glad crt came up.now to fix the damn contrast issue!windy,wet and very cold today.had to abandon the set in the garage.here are some screen shots
