[sci.electronics] projection trv screen

hbg6@citek.mcdphx.mot.com (10/08/90)

I just bought a Sony projection telivision at a local auction for
a pretty good price. It only had two problems. The first was the
absence of vertical sync for the blue gun. Simple fix, I even had
the transistor in my junk pile!

The second problem however is tougher. The silver screen this set
projects on to is pretty messed up. It has smudges, fingerprints,
and gouges in its surface. I presume freon would be a good way to
clean it but I wold still have to deal with the gouges. Does anyone
know if there is something I can spray onto this surface to restore
it? Both silver and white paint have been suggested. I am looking
into buying a new screen from Sony but it will probably cost more
than I paid for the whole thing.

Anyone have any ideas or experience?

Thanks,
John
