Don't worry about it, I forgot something too, I forgot to place your positive feedback for those sets I bought off e-bay from you, I remembered a couple weeks ago because I was on there selling some car parts, but it wouldn't let me because I had waited too long. I haven't done anything to those sets either, I've so been busy selling car parts lately, been watching that Zenith though, I haven't done any repairs and it's still going.

Anyway thanks for the offer to look at my chromacolor II, it basically has 3 problems: power supply, vertical, color. The major problem is the power supply, it either won't power up, or if it does, it shuts itself off in a few seconds. I narrowed the problem down to some funky looking repairs on the remote board, I've been staring at the schematic, but because I have less than no idea what is actually going on in this circuit, and no tv books that cover anything this modern, I've been hesitant to really mess with it. I may have fixed the vertical, but it won't stay on long enough for me to be sure. The color problems seem to be caused by a gunked up "chromatic" button.

My schedule for the next few months is busy mon-thrs, free fri-sun.
