SONYKV2145R
Dark picture, resolder r054Raster goes dark with sound bars, sound normal, then normalpicture jumps back. found r054 mounted on the print side, cold soldered.

Pin cushion, add resistor in series with r809Pincushion correction at top and bottom near the corners isalmost null. -hq comments: to correct the problem place a 15Ω 1w resistor inseries with r809 (100Ω 1w) and readjust pin phase and pin ampcontrols.
SONYKV2643R
No channel lock, replaced c206Except on low band this unit keeps on scanning stations.ch. 2, 4, 5 could be tuned in but slightly have weak video (slight snow).found c206 leaky causing a drop, at pins 26 and 28 to 1.7 volts insteadof 4.6 volts.
