Default Re: TV22 small problem.

Hello, well as a matter of interest ,perhaps ,then the problem of picture movement etc. has been completely cured. The valve holder 'not' holding the valve. This kind of holder uses the 'Y' shaped pin contact, not sure of the spelling, Mc Murdo? anyway there are only 2 in the set.
3 contacts had lost 1 leg.
1 looked as if it had started to burn.
2 had spread the legs wide, much too wide.
3 looked probably OK but broke when I poked them with a pin.

How the heck it Ever worked I do not know. Been like it for years!
If I come accross any holders the same in future then they will be carefully checked.
Cheers.
Geoff.
