Convergence problem on Sony KP43T75

[evbrown]

I have a Sony KP43T75 that appears to have a convergence problem. O
another forum I was told I need to replace the convergence STK's.
thought I knew which parts I needed, but now I am not so sure.
thought I needed: http://tinyurl.com/ehrd5

But in reading a thread here I may only need: http://tinyurl.com/z2hu9

Is the first one for $75 the whole circuit board, and the second on
for $10 just the single IC I need? Recommendations on which way
should go?

BTW, I know there are two convergence STK's to deal with.

Thanks for any help you can provide,

Have you checked the obvious first, like looking for bad solder joints? The
last two of these that I fixed did not need output ICs, just resoldering
connections and alignment. Likely less alignment than if you replace the
outputs.

Hi Leonard,

I tried resoldering the connnections to the two STK392-150 IC's. N
change. I am going to replace them and see if that takes care of th
problem.

Back to my first question. Why the $65 difference in price fro
Partstore vs. Electronix?

Thank

Thanks to all who helped. I replaced my STK's, realigned the guns an
all is well. If you want to read the saga that I passed on to someon
