The error codes only indicate the convergence circuit is not working.
In this set it is VERY important to check the 1.8 ohm resistors, if even one is open the convergence will look bad.
These sets are not real easy to get at the chips etc, and I learned the hard way a long time ago to check all the resistors, if needed unsolder one end of each of the 1.8 ohm resistors and be sure all are GOOD.

Thank you. Where can I order these 1.8ohm 1w resistors? Also, I see that some other people are using 2.2 ohm, but I want to order what the service manual calls for. What do you think?
value is critical here, a 2.2 might work but could cause adjustment problems, these resistors precisely control voltage to the chips, as far as parts try calling my favorite dealer, SUBURBAN ELECTRONICS, they have a 800 number and also a online catalog.
When pressed and did not have correct resistor I have used 1.8 one half watt flame proof and never had a problem, the original ones are one watt and metal oxide in nature.
Andrews Electronics in LA, the world's largest OEM dealer will have them and they also have a 800 number and take phone orders.
For best results get the good ones.
