I had another TnF I brought back from the dead but colors were "dim". If i jacked up color pots on inverter shit got weird and the stands turned pink.

After polling some friends, @mdeslaur said it looked like green was low.

Worked through the proms and checked all resistors. Per @mdeslaur i poked at the green resistors again. All checked out in circuit except for the 220u (160u)

Lifted one leg, tested perfectly at 221u.

Dropped it back in and now colors are perfect and vibrant !

Not sure if it was bad solder joint or if that resistor is failing and i just got it into good position on resolder?

I guess in the future with color problems I'll just reflow the resistors before I start digging deeper.

Either way , working now.

See pic below, I labeled which resistors are for which color for anyone needing future reference. It's not labeled on schematics so you have to tone it out.

Thanks to @mdeslaur for always offering to help. Fellow Canadians are obviously the best.
