Interesting - bookmarked, thank you very much! I will try this on the original CRT once I have the set finished. I have nothing to lose and it sounds like a fun experiment.
As far as progress on the KV-1320U: I'm pretty far in to the mechanical part of the CRT exchange. I got the chassis and CRT/front panel divorced without incident; it
mostly followed the OEM Sony manual instructions, with an exception for some of the wiring on a terminal strip on the CRT shield. But a quick reference photo took care of that
Miraculously, none of the yoke plastics or mounting hardware broke! I was very pleasantly surprised...
I'm thinking once I have the replacement CRT fully dressed I'll start pre-emptively recapping the chassis before putting it all back together. Not having the yoke and CRT in the way gives me really good access to a lot of parts I'd otherwise really struggle with, and I already know most of the set works as it came up with full deflection and snow. More soon...
