Hi all,

A while back, I posted about an antique Olympic model 755 tv I was fixing. It was the first tv I had ever tried to fix, and it was the most difficult project I've ever worked on. I'm happy to report that several months later, it's still working great.

I watch it pretty regularly, at least a few times a week. I've had it on for several hours at a time. And I haven't noticed any problems with overheating or any other issues. The contrast is a little weak at first. But after about 20-30 minutes, when it's had a chance to get hot, the picture improves and actually looks pretty good.

Everyone here was a huge help. And I learned a lot about how classic CRT tvs work from this project.
