I had to replace a fuse for the power supply and know the picture is blurry and bowed

This is a suggestion: if convergence is off does the label on the back of the set indicate this is a PTK195 Chassis?

If so I can tell you the likely bad part and how to find it.

Before you rate this information let me know what you find.

I am here to help.

You have probably blown one of the convergence ICs. Effectively the easiest thing to do is replacing the whole convergence board, so that no soldering is involved.

Here you can buy a replacement convergence board, just select your model.

Let me know if you need further help.

ok meoff check the convergence circuit. shadow in the picture is defective convergence circuit... replace a new.

well look under power supply board around flyback. they have bad solder joints. it will then blow
the 400 ma fuse. just rtesolder the flyback and replace the 400 ma fuse beside flyback

Is the convergence option still listed under the on screen menu setup options, or has it disappeared?

Your convergence amplifier has failed.
There are a few things that usually cause that in that particular chassis design, the most likely one being that you have lost part of the power supply to the convergence amplifier power supply board.
You may be able to repair it yourself if you're good at soldering, and dis-assembly / re-assembly.
Look for a 400ma fuse that's opened near the FBT, and re-solder all the connections in that area. Also check to see if any diodes have shorted around it too.
Good luck.

Find a large rifle and put it out of its misery. Bowing is either from a problem in the pincushion correction circuit or the convergence circuit. Blurry picture or poor color rendition is most likely bad CRTs ( picture tubes)

rubber cap? i dont feel you have the correct fuse. fl231 is a small rectangular brown fuse next to flyback. I have written detail instructions on the replacement of this fuse. look under willtab profile under tips in tricks section. intitles the fl231 fuse problem. this also help you indetify if this is the problem.

If the picture is still bowed, the power supply fuses are open.
Check the power supply on the red connector for + and - 20 volts.

The fuses are on the main board,are on the deflection module in the middle, tward the front of the TV. They should look like green (or brown) resistors. An ohmmeter check will show which ones are bad.
They should be 3.5 amps. Replace with 4 ohm GMA fuses with pigtails if you can't find picofuses. I also had a set that would fry the 1 ohm resistor on the 20 v supply. This was near the fuses.
I replaced the whole module to fix that.

Conversion problem most likely. Do your conversion controls work both colors in all 4 directions.
