I am scheduled for a Pioneer repair and calibration at the end of the week, and am hoping for a few other jobs during the first of the week. This could be repairs, calibrations, or even just optics cleanings.
ALL CRT RPTVs begin to need optics cleaning desperately going into their 3rd year of life, and it just gets worse from then on. Don't let your depth perception and dynamic punch be compromised by the 30KV of HV your set uses every day, just in being turned on. It turns your optics into powerful dust magnets and eventually really does a number on your ability to see into dark areas of the picture and actually make out detail. It also eliminates any chance for "gleam" in your image dynamics, because of the automatic haze around bright objects against black backgrounds.
I would be willing to do entire cal tours JUST on optics cleanings, it's that important!
Whether you choose to spring for a full calibration or not, the bleariness in all CRT RPTVs over 3 years old simply doesn't need to be there. Optics cleaning is cheap, compared to the immense effect it has on your picture.
There are potential hazards to doing this op, so give careful consideration to whether you want to take your possibly irreplaceable optical components in your hands by attempting to do it yourself. There are horror stories available...
See my website for more info. Email me for before and after photos of its improvements on a 7 year old Pioneer.
