Toshiba CRT brightness switches between bright and darker, apparently linked to the control PCB located in the control panel. Affected by vibration e.g. when I slam down panel (I think the small brightness pot on the PCB which had been pressed down onto PCB by frustrated previous owner presumably).
I checked for cold solder joints, and re-soldered brightness pot. Problem still present, I think due to faulty pot (you can see from one photo that it is cracked).
I can't find anywhere to get a replacement brightness pot or even the PCB. Does anyone know where to get these?? See photos.
Thanks guys!
