This is the second one of these I have had recently with severely leaking CRTs (this one has both leaking blue and red). I have also seen many other techs on the various email forums indicating the same thing which is one of the reasons I guess the CRTs are on factory backorder since February. The cabinet design of these sets and acesssibility make them a real sonofagun to replace. Just the electrical convergence/geometry alignments for one CRT are level 1 (9 ponits of alignment), level 2 (25 ponits of alignment), and level 3 (195 points of alignment). This is for EACH color in EACH mode (480p and 1080i). I feel bad for us servicer's who only get under $200 warranty labor for this. The other issue is that I believe these new CRTs are the same as what was originally installed in the set so I wonder how long before they also start to leak? Have any of you had the leaking CRTs on these ATC221 / ITC222 chassis yet? I am curious to see how prevalent this problem is!
