Default Re: First repair project - PYE 450 (Philips G11). Weird beam distortion.

D4021, a 27V zener diode type BZX79C27 on the PSU panel can cause this problem on the G11 particularly if it is 100Hz ripple (are there 2 moving kinks on each side of the screen?) this is part of the active smoothing circuitry.

If it was fixed distortion (ie. not moving) then the EW circuit has a problem.
