And more recently the aft coil would drift every 6 months to the for a couple of years until I coulld no longer get it to stop searching so they are using a vcr as the tuner through the video inputs.
I can't believe it's stiill running wth 13 to 14 hours a day on it. Great picture.Even the original STK4273 convergence chips are still functioning. I've replaced more of those in Mitsubishis than you can skake a stick at and you have to use STK4274. The 4273 was discontinued.

Thanks for the post. That's why I consider 1988 to be Mitsubishi's highest peak quality year (TVs and VCRs together).
