The A823 needs to have a really good bright tube for a good brightness, the decoder being a problem in these sets always had hanover blinds or colour out of phase green faces when changing channels if you were lucky no colour could just have been the transistors in the chroma amp in the if can.
But the picture on that murphy 2215 on a recent post this week had an excellent picture.
All these three different chassis had their nightmares.
The GEC channel jumping was a problem but solved with the soft touch buttons improved shall i say.
The G8 sensor touch was very good but they used to suffer from tuning drift most likely to be the AFC.
