CPD1604S Vertical Collapse

[vol.2]

I removed IC301 and IC303, put in sockets and put in NOS ICs. That made the Pincushion controls just better enough that I can almost dial it in.

I found that the yoke is misaligned. It was twisted a little bit, so I went in and twisted it only to find that it's now slightly pointing up, so I'll have to go in and fix that.

This Monitor has a replacement tube in it that was put in sometime later in its life, which is good, but it seems the Sony Service place didn't take too much care when they oriented the tube. It's clear that they tilted it somewhat and then performed static convergence with it tilted in place.
