Default Re: CRT is brighter to one side [Hitachi CTP213]

I’ll look at them suppliers, and see what capacitors I need and then hopefully make an order.

I also have another issue, which arose this evening.

When I took the pictures earlier, I used my Atari, and my brother decided to have a go on the Atari, connected to my TV. The TV must’ve been on for roughly an hour or more, and after a while, there was a very strong burning smell.

As the smell increased, the picture grew dim and there was a very odd electronic noise coming from inside.

I’ve never turned something off so quick. It of course remains unplugged now (and when not in use).

I havent taken the back off yet to see if any damage has been done, but could it just be something got too hot (possibly a or the faulty capacitor?) and burnt the thick layer of dust inside?

It doesnt have a burning smell at all now, not even when smelling down the ventilation at the back.

I really hope it’s nothing major.

Thanks
