ok, well i resoldered a few broken solder joints I found, and unlooped the HV lead. Upon powering up I didnt hear any unusual noises, no snapping or popping, so maybe whatever the last guy did actually fixed the issue, and now no more screen door look to the picture (not sure if the HV lead had any effect but im not complaining. Now theres a problem i didnt notice before, the convergence on the bottom of the screen is way off, I noticed when i had everything apart that there were 4 convergence adjustments, RB top, RB bottom, RB right and RB left. Question is can i just adjust RB bottom to bring it into alignment? Other than that it seems to work as i remember, i fiddeled with the picture adjustments and it looked as good as i remember.
Remember the whole reason why I didnt use it after i got it "looked at" was the odd look to the picture, which is gone now-and i have a sneeky suspition it was the HV lead routing even thow someone said it was low current. Other than re-flow some solder thats the only thing I did. But its better now, just need convergence. Can i use a regular screwdriver to adjust it?
Thnaks guys, im happy that this set may be back in action, and may have very well been fixed for all these years and I just didnt know it.
