Haha sorry guys... I just re-read my post and I wasn't very clear. I've actually solved the color issues by a combination of degaussing and moving the TV to a different part of the room. I'm not sure if it was the A/C outside the house that is directly on the other side of the wall or the ceiling fan above, but something was causing the TV to go wacky. Degaussing solved most of the issue and relocating it solved the rest, so the TV is good to go and just needs a cab to go in! sharpfork- Thanks man! I had been putting off decasing this thing for over a year because it seemed like such a daunting task. CRT's in general are heavy, but this Sony is in a league all by itself in terms of being unassumingly weighty. Literally when it was laying on its face in my game room, it took almost all I had just to lift it back up (partially because of the awkwardness of it but mainly because it is so damn heavy). The frame makes it a lot easier to maneuver since the 2x4's are much easier to grip. I don't know how well this frame solution would work on a cab with standard orientation, but since a mirror cab just has the CRT facing upwards the box works fantastic. mgb- Yeah my first time degaussing I did it much longer than that and the coil actually started overheating haha. With the TV facing upwards it made it a bit more difficult to move away from the screen, but I got it to work fine after a couple of tries. Anyway thanks again to everyone for the help... I sincerely appreciate it. Will be starting the cabinet soon and will get a thread going in "Project Announcements" shortly thereafter! |
