Kortek ktn20 colour fade in and out
« on: July 05, 2008, 07:00:38 am »
Hi guys,

I got given a kortek ktn20 a few days ago and only had the chance to install in my cab yesterday, I switch the cab on and starting playing and had a good picture, After about five minutes the picture faded to near black just show very dark red and after a few seconds the picture returned and i started playing again, but again after five minutes it faded but the picture returned a lot quicker then the first time, i left the screen running for an hour or so and watched and it seems like every five minutes the picture fades then returns.

Could this be a tube fault or a dodgy cap?

Thanks guys

Korteks are known for lots of bad solder joints and lots of bad capacitors.

Hi guys,

Does anyone have a list of what caps i need to change on a kortek ktn20? I need to order them for a guy whos going to fit them, Ordering a kit from the states would add extra cost to a budget i don't have.

Thanks guys
