The standby light was initally blinking when set powered up from cold, then is came on solid. The audio was on consistently, just the picture was blanking out. The picture was somewhat fuzzy and the color balance was off like one of the crt guns was weak. It just had the picture characteristics of what I have seen on weak crt's.
I think a new set is their best option, we really don't want to haul that set and charge for the labor of rejuvinating the crt just to have it break down after a while. They were asking what the best type of new set is but it was hard for me to say! In a modern set I'm not really sure what's best.
The customers said they bought that set cause they thought Sony was high quality (which it was in the 70's and 80's).
