Hello, If you look at the pics at
I replaced op-amp IC4003 and two 100 ohm resistors in its power supply legs. The resistors had dropped to around 50 ohms. Checked all of the pnp/npn output transistor pairs. They look good.
Went around looking at the bases, collector & emitters of transistors on the board. Did not see anything that called out for closer inspection.
I have a scope and have looked at some of the points on the convergence board. Not knowing exactly what I'm looking for I have some questions. Shouldn't the general shape of the horizontal signal applied to each of the red, green and blue coils be similar? If you inspect waveform5.bmp through waveform10.bmp at the above web site you'll see some of the waveforms that are applied to the trailer yokes. I looked at the vertical and horizontal signals coming in to the convergence board, they look good.
I have measured the power supplies, the + 16 and - 16, and +,-12 and +,-7 are all close. I can post on my web site captured waveforms at points in the set. Oh yes the schematics I have are more general artistic renderings instead of actual circuit diagrams.
Any ideas of what components I should look at? I hesitate to purchase a replacement module for fear I would be throwing good money after bad. I fixed a power supply module earlier only to have this convergence problem pop up after a few months.
