On the subject of K7000, I've been having trouble with a 19K7601. I suspected IC2, but having tried a different chassis on the same tube, I'm getting exactly the same result, as seen in the photo. V and H Hold are having an effect, and I can de-sync both, but the screen remains like this, completely garbled. It appears to be a tube problem. What are the odds of both chassis having exactly the same trouble? The chassis I swapped in was known to work before.
As for sync, I'm using video connectors that worked before. They use only -HSync on the pin at the end of the connector Pin 3. I've used some that have H and V Sync connected, which is not supposed to be done, and they've never caused problems.
