Didn’t see that you posted there. Like I said in that thread, great to hear you’re doing so well.

In our shop, we called it the “Horizontal Slam Adjustment.” Usually
administered after trying everything else.

Percussive maintenance.

Living with the original Woodstock site and several towns nearby full of hippies in their 70's who still don't know what they want to be when they grow up, I can say with authority that those cans aren't the only thing past their best before date.....

"there are several plausible reasons why percussive maintenance worked on some older TVs and many other older appliances"

"Modern TVs and equipment are too fragile for percussive maintenance to be effective, so it's best to seek professional help in diagnosing and fixing the issue."

cleaner on a rag (I liked “Blue Stuff”) and then clean each contact on each
strip. Next, using heavy duty swabs, clean spring contacts inside the tuner.
This task was laborious and required some patience. And it worked.
