Color Classic Screen Color Issue — #4

It does sound like a dried out solder joint, somewhere in the red line. If it was a dying gun I wouldn't expect it to be intermittent at first. http://www.repairfaq.org/sam/monfa…

If I were set in changing C1 and only C1, it would not matter to me if the price was even $6 total, if that including shipping to me in Japan. Perhaps it would be more desirab…
