My vintage Sony Trinitron model KV-19TS20 goes wacky after inly a few seconds. screen has jagged lines and makes a noise that changes in pitch from low to high. Can somebody please help me?

What have you tried on it so far?

Try this first. Pull the chassis and resolder anything that looks suspicious, especially around the hor. output area. Lenny

Hello, and that sounds like a classic horizontal sweep problem. ForOn Tuesday, May 26, 2015 at 4:46:05 PM UTC-4, Glenn Russell wrote:

If that is like the trinitron that gave me trouble, YES check the

you're in there. Why? 1. you're in there, and 2. When the output
Transistor went, it takes the driver, or at least greatly weakens it.
And, Why not rpelace it? What is saved by being cheap? PS: don't know if
related, or cause, but one of the blocking caps was leaky and had to be
replaced. I found out because the 'fix' of changing only output
transistors lasted a few months before all wonky again.

Hello, again, and in assuming that the OP still has a properly sized
picture with exception of the artifacts at the edges of the screen, what
may be occurring is arching due to insulation breakdown in the flyback
transformer, high-voltage rectifiers or other components that have to
withstand many kilovolts. A strong scent of ozone in the horizontal
section might be an indication. Just another consideration in addition
to those who previously provided timely troubleshooting tips. Sincerely,

What about the bad connections at the coils to the IF chip. Nobody mentioned that.

Tuner grounds? You may be thinking of RCA
