But then the picture pulled in perfectly....perfect color, the vertical locked dead on, and everything was excellent.
What.....the....hell!
I pulled the back this morning, and it wasn't the new film caps I installed, because they're just as they were. What the hell kind of BANG can cause a set TO work properly? Usually, it's the opposite way around!
Pics of the set assembled, and then working perfectly after it threw out a loud sudden cough
