I ran into a freebee, been looking al over the net, some suggestions say that I should have left it, since I heard that the chopper supply fails, flyback fails, and most common HV block failures.
Well, its tagged from repairs a few years ago, so its probably been overhauled, but you never know.
The set works fine. produces a fine picture.
But the picture looks like your watching a bad channel on antenna, lots of ghosting and noise.
I thought it was a bad tuner, until I tried to use the RCA jacks, auxillary inputs do the exact same thing. The color is fine, picture is a little blurry (dirt and age probably). but it is VERY noisey.
any ideas why? is it bad solder or caps in the video amp? I dont have a schematic or service data, so im working in the blind folded here. Thanks..
