Hey Squirrel Boy-some good advice coming from you, Thanks; and to DaveWM I like the idea of the cold spray and I would like to try that especially now that I have monkeyed with this set and made it a little worse. Boy do I need a drink! The first pick below is an example of what my picture problem looks like before I did anything today. You can see that the color is way off but the broken lines all over this pic must be a result of some strobe effect between the set and my camera because I do not see this distortion on screen. Then, I unplugged the set and started pulling the cards I had good access to and brushed across the pins with a small wire brush to clean them, gave all the Caps a good visual and then replaced the card back on the main board. I did the same thing with any sockets that were plugged into the main board. I then inspected the solder points on the main board and they all look fine. I then plugged the set back in and turned it on. The picture came back on as before but the whole image is now pulled over to the right side of the tube by a few inches. I could not find any adjustment on the front or back of the set that would allow me to center the image on screen. I then pushed out the service lever (the other pic below) and what should be a solid line is actually the colors of the picture tube being fired like an arc rather than in a straight line. I don't know how to adjust this if that is even possible. The colored lines being displayed in this "service mode" did not show up well in my picture but on screen, they are sharper and not blurred like you see on in my picture. In addition, the problem with the Channel number display and clock not appearing has not resolved with what I have done so far. So, it seems that I have some problem with the module that controls the channel/clock display and another problem with what ever is controlling picture image. Its interesting to note that when the set is first turned, the picture is perfectly centered and not bad but this only last about 10 seconds now then I get all the color and picture distortion. Does anyone know where I can get or order replacement module cards for the Horizontal Osc. and Chroma board? This is a T-995-02 Chassis. Thanks Guys
