Hi all

I need help here.

I was doing the ajustment on my Sony VPH-1251. While I was ajusting the center cross with the center of my screen, I have noticed that the green color was slowing moving around the center of my screen.

So the green is not stable. What is the problem with it? Laughing

Thanks
Stephane

hi

here is my one suggestion (and the only reason I know this is I made this mistake the first time I played with a crt projector)

are you using a magnetic/metal screw driver to adjust the pots? - if so find a plastic one

Cheers

Andrew

No, it is always moving. If I put a the cross hair and compare the center with the center of the screen, it is slowly moving around aound the center.


Any idea why?

Failing capacitors on one of the boards id say. Unless youve got a failing deflector yoke.

Does it do this right from first turn on or only after ifs warmed up?

If it is moving slowly in one direction for the first 15 or 20 min. after startup then stays in one place it is your tubes warming up and drifting- you need to redo your setup...... If the image is oscillating then you have electronic problems.

I thought you still had the 1252? Did you fix it? If yes, what was broken?

I still have it ( like I get rid of anything ) I just never got to fixing it. I started a car restoration and that was that. Wink
