Just another little bit of friendly advice Ron - don't top-post ! It's
greatly frowned upon in newsgroups, and whilst it's reasonably tolerated on
this group, doing it on some others will cause a shed-load of abuse to fall
onto your head ...

** Now he tells us ......

Did he never guess that the failure of the degaussing circuit CAUSED the
green patches to appear ??

I had a TV with a failed degaussing system which caused a serious
color blotch as Phil described. This one failed because of a relay
contact flexing the solder joint on the PCB which eventually failed. I
removed all the old solder and re-soldered it. It went 8 years before
the first failure.
