I recently rescued a couple of CRTs from the side of the road, one of which is a Philips 20pt6245/37.

The AV ports on the left side are damaged, and it had the plug cut off (not a great start…), but upon attaching a new plug it seems like it works.

However, there is a white line shown near the top of the screen… reading in here and online in general, white lines seem to be bad, but in almost every post I’ve read there are either lots of lines or a single super bright one with no picture.

I’ve ordered a remote to enter service mode, in case it’s a horizontal adjustment issue, but while I wait for that, does anyone have any thoughts as to the potential cause?

(And no, I’m not naked, I have a tshirt on)

If anyone is in the area, the Goodwill Computer Works on Fairview has a number of laserdiscs mixed in with the vinyl, including Lethal Weapon, Rob Roy and others for $3, so not terrible pricing.

I picked up this, er, ‘classic’…
