Hi,
I have couple of questions regarding maintenance of Neck Boards for M8000. My 8000 developed very faint blue streaking, mostly visible on darker and bluish backgrounds, streak being lighter when object to it's right is lighter, and darker (sort of almost like a shadow), when it is darker. It DOES NOT happen with white objects on black background. It IS present (as far as I can determine) on internal patterns too, so it is NOT source related. It is not visible on most material, but of course I KNOW it is there, and it drives me crazy!... I looked trough most of the archives for possible cause and solution, and found, that most likely it is related to Blue CRT Neck Board. (I will try to swap it with one of the other two to be sure, but it's not easy, since PJ is hanging on the ceiling).
Now, I was getting ready to implement some of maintenance tips from Marquee Maintenance Archive anyway, so it may be good opportunity.
Here are my question:
Tread mentions replacing CLC409 IC with CLC449. Is it still valid? Down the line, Curt talks about LMH6705 which was not available at the time, as another possibility. I checked, and LMH6705 is currently available. Is it better (the best) choice? Are there some never IC's available?
Also, what's the best source for getting Video Neck Board? I want to work on the spare and than on the other two, so I can enjoy PJ in the mean time... Of course...
It is still awesome system!...
Any other suggestions?
All your help will be greatly appreciated,
Kris
