I have to say this first. No one can deny the fact of going on a service call on a set they are not familiar with the layout of all the boards and adjustment controls etc. But yet you are the expert and thats why the cust called you. So now you have to study and figure out all of this in front of the cust without having that puzzled look. We've all had to bluff are way through this situation at one time or another and don't deny it... I consider myself pretty good at doing this. Never had the nerve to but always had the thought of: Take the back off of the set, scratch my head while saying "Damn theres allot of wires in here.... c'mon, you gotta admit thats funny... OK DON"T...!!!
The only reason I mentioned that short ha, ha, is when I was in cust home on this unit I had a hell of a time getting the green crt socket board off because of the tar silicon seal was on there pretty heavy and i was being as delicate as possible not to do any damage while removing the board. Well after removal of the board and giving a visual inspection, I put it back on and unit would not fire up now. Bluff time..... Now that I have the unit in shop, come to find out that when I did the board removal in the custs home one of the plugs on the back part of the crt board had come off. Replaced plug, unit fired and so did green crt come on and is still playing. So Jeff, I believe you where correct about the soldering of the board, which I will do tomorrow and test play for a few days... Will let you all know outcome after delivered. Thanks to all you who responded. And again a big Thanks to Wayne for the info on disassembling.
