	Greetings. I have a 9 year old Panasonic 19" Color TV and I
	have seen a progressive "problem". I applied my limited
	knowledge of TV but to no avail. The model # is CT9071
	(It has "quartz" tuning and remote but the tuner is fine.)
	Here is the problem:

	The TV works just fine (sound/reception) except for a vertical
	blackish smear on the left side of the screen. It's totally
	black at the very edge and just "smear" black perhaps 5-6
	inches towards the center. When brightness is at the lowest,
	it covers most of the screen - when at the brightest, only the
	very edge.

	The designers did not bother to put a H-Hold pot on the back
	but I checked it and it works. So does the tuner as well as the
	power supply and HV. I have access to a cheap (read:1940's)
	'scope, a voltmeter, but no signal generator :-( Anyone have
	any suggestions?

	Please reply via e-mail and I will make the summary available.

	Take care.
