- I thought this forum was for Solutions and how too's. Your comments offered none of that and served no purpose other than to bad mouth and cheap shot. This set is in a guest house on my property and it works fine and provides a satisfactory viewable TV for weekly sports enthusiasts. A little TLC will make it satisfactory for some time to come, thank you.

- I'd love to drive a Mercedes 500AMG Twin Turbo 12 cylinder, however practicality is more important than ego in this instance. Being able to put aside childish "I must have now at all cost", is what separates adults from spoiled brats. I do have a $4k HD unitas well and can also give credit and appreciate from whence I came viewing wise, which is more than YOUR response has provided!

- No I have not yet. I have a ISF Tech due to come on 2/9 to calibrate my new Pioneer Elite 1140HD and to align, Repair and generally give this Sony a proper going over. It still performs wonderfully for the most part. Pictue is bright, just that I may have not been as careful as I thought I was when cleaning the lenses & mirror. It owes me nothing since 1998! I'll keep you updated when its completed. Thanks for asking!

- This is to inform all readers that my worse fears were just that - fears! I had the services of an ISF technician on site to calibrate my new Pioneer Pro-1140HD and he offered for a few $ more to check/align/calibrate the Sony RPTV. (Mind you the set was never touched by anyone since it was delivered nearly 10 years ago!) Absolutely nothing wrong that its internal focus couldn't fix so he said. He gave it complete 3 hour servicing and found it badly needed 1)Internal Focus, 2)Internal convergence alignments for every axis, 3)Adjustment for overscan, blooming, 4) plus the usual ISF alignment using, signal generators, Test DVDs, and various test gear including a laptop PC with programs to autotest settings.

This RPTV is better now than the Day it first arrived in my home. Thank you to all the forum contributors who offered REAL help in solving my issues!
