Do i have a problem with my lense housing

John, I hope you know that changes of this nature should be IMMEDIATELY referred to YOUR Physician. If you are taking DuoDart and this change has taken place, there is something effecting you adversely. CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN...

Maybe brake fluid. Under the hood on the drivers side is the brake fluid reservoir and the brake lines generally run from there, under the drivers side, to the rear brakes. The lid may be loose or a line may be leaking. Would help to have someone look under the vehicle while someone pushes the brake to see if fluid is dripping.

POSSIBLE A/C DRAIN, DO YOU NOTICE AFTER YOU DRIVE WITH A/C ON... DOES FLUID HAVE A SMELL OR OILY FEEL?

i also have this tv. i removed backcleaned mirrior, back of screen and lenses VERY GOOD. Then turned on tv go to convergence, sepaerate cross hairs then adjust focus on lenses. Then lenses rotate maybe about a 1/3 turn total by hand. Grab ring that houses lenses and turn until cross hairs are as clear as possible. This can be done with out help by watching inside of screen. red and green are adjustable, the blue is adjustablealso but i couldnt find blue cross hairs, maybe by covering red and green lenses the blue will show on screen. anyway when done and cross hairs are clear,lenses, mirror and screen are clean, you can adjust covergence and get a very clear screencleaning will also brighten pic.

Could be brake fluid, so look at the brake fluid resevoir.
Could also be water from the evaporator, from the air conditioner.
Is it oily to the touch?

power steering or break fluid. Check pressure in both. If are good take to your local mechanic for a free diagnostic

usally just a small container (like the master cyclinder holds the brake fluid) for standard transmissions if any.

they have to be sent to the mainland for repair..if you want i can estimate cost of repair if you mail them....larry@reichinstruments.com

Check 2 things.

First, make sure the lenses, mirrors, and back of screen are spotless. Second, look into the CRT's when the set is running. There is a real good chance cooling fluid leaked out or got cloudy. It's supposed to be a clear oily fluid (a combo of glycerine, water, sometimes methyl alcohol and preservatives) and will be around the tube and chassis if leaking. Rebuilding the assembly is possible (Magnavox had the same problem, as they were a Hitachi chassis), but the CRT is usually damaged. If I have to rebuild them, all 3 are done in one shot - new fluid, seals, filler spout.

Besides that, the tubes are cheap and lose their sharpness with age (gets gassy). Had real problems with that and the only correct solution is to replace all 3 tubes. You could cheap out with one tube, but setting the color balance (grey scale) is often difficult if not impossible.

Good luck,
Mark

i just found out why, turn on ur tv and remove back look directly into 3 lenses, if the picture is not nice and clear or looks snowy in all 3 u will not get good color or brightness. I removed my blue tube assembly and took it apart WHILE OUT OF TV. there is cooling fluid between lense and tube, this fluid over time will build a film on the face of the tube and get thick enough to block the tube from projecting picture. (MARK EDGES IT GOES BACK TO GETHERE THE SAME WAY IT CAME APART).Find some new fluid then carefully dissasemble and clean interior of lense, housing and tube thouroughly. Reassemble and fill with new fluid. Do not use old fluid it will be cloudy and snow globe effect. Only do 1 tube at a time this will allow u to realign cross manually as close as possible before u perform convergence. Leave the green for last that is the center and the red and blue are moved to match green. Also be sure to clean mirror and back of screen. Pete
