[TV] Re: Zenith PVR5263RK - Need service manul and/or advice

["John Conti" <contitv@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rick, On the something wrong with the blue. look on the blue crt board and 
check or replace r5102
(120k 1/2w) its either getting high in res. or getting ready to open. you 
might also replace the ones on the red and green crt boards or they'll come 
back to haunt you later.
