Sounds like the problem is a temperature-dependent loose connection (maybe inside a component). You could try shooting freezing spray (available from Radio Shack) onto various parts of the TV to see if the problem appears or disappears suddenly when you hit a particular component. (Don't spray it onto the glass of the CRT!) You could also try warming up various areas and then individual components with a hair dryer. -- + Michael Covington - Artificial Intelligence Programs - U of Georgia - USA + Unless otherwise noted, these are private opinions, not official statements. + VOTE NO GEORGIA LOTTERY - don't tie education to an unpredictable income.
