Filled CRT service / calibration request for a Philips Matchline 28CL6770/25Z

[charles_austin]

Hi all,

I have a Philips Matchline 28CL6770/25Z CRT which I would love to get serviced and calibrated. I am based in Worcester.

I use the TV for gaming via a MiSTer FPGA. The set itself in good condition, however the geometry needs some adjustment. (Left & right scrolling on 2D games is driving me crazy).

The set is really nice, and so would like to get it thoroughly serviced and calibrated if at all possible. My grandparents owned it from new, and it has never been serviced.

Hope someone can help,

Thanks very much,
Charles

ok,since there was no update to this thread,im going to do it

it turns out there isnt anything wrong with the tv when we spoke via pm(after a lengthy convo back and forth) to warrant a repair or service,after looking at pictures which is fine
original picture used in this thread was from pc via emudriver with funny settings,which makes it look like there is something wrong
pictures sent to me was of the mister used via the tv,so the mister is messing with geometry, slightly picture placement etc on screen
pictures sent using real hardware has no issues that i can see,so conclusion is the tv is fine

can a moderator close and move this please

this is why i ask questions and discuss problems,it saves lots of time,about 1 hour each way in traveling and connecting consoles and test equipment to find out after.
there is no embarressment or need to feel daft,i would rather it be this way than waist each others time with a non event caused by external problems not related to the tv
if it turns out there is a problem i will be happy to look at it,if any
at the moment i cant see a reason to do work,i dont want to charge to do nothing
