Hitachi TV Model: C2133TN (Nokia Stereo Plus) Chassis)
Very strong red content in the picture, sometimes the fault wod clear with the strong red content fading until the correct greyscale was achieved
After much searching around i found the problem. There was a very small crack in the solder at RH23, this is a 2K4 surface mounted resistor located at the back of the tube base. Resoldering both sides of it cured the fault

No Red
I was hoping the nvm had become corrupt and turned the red drive down but it was fine (To enter service mode press and hold vol up and vol down on the front panel and switch set on). Thankfully ZD405 (8V2) had expired (almost s/c) and removed the red

EW fault then set went dead (tripping), R711 on EW panel burnt
Check for dry joints on C620 (0.47uF, 250V), if dry replace then check Q602 and R618 (5K6). Also it is worth replacing Q580 anytime these sets come into the workshop with a BF422

There may be no 5V to the microprocessor. Check R3509 and D6501. Replace R3509 with a 47k 1 Watt version (4822 053 10473). D6501 is type BZX79B5V6 (4822 130 34173). Check the +150 volt rail, 145V is too low

Philips TV (CP110 Chassis)
Operating fine (good picture, sound and control) but sometimes sharp sounds coming from the set (not via audio), sounding like the LOPT but more loud, sharp and variable (15 Khz)
The long coil next to the LOPT was resonating/generating sound (not the LOPT itself), solved by cleaning the top and putting a bubble of silicone kit on it, and after temporarily removing the coil from the pcb fixating a ty-wrap strongly around the bottom increasing the magnet-ferrite contact-pressure and stiffness of plastic support construction

Smearing out of one or several colors, best seen in txt-mode, my 27CE4599/30R smeared out in red and green, not in blue, fully exchanging the drivers (input and output complete, otherwise the RGB driver will blank the crt) moved the fault to the other color
Replace the 180K feedback resistors in the amplifiers with normal 1/4W metal film instead of 1/8W, they can become open circuited (in mine both green and red were faulty in this way). Change all 3 and not just the defective ones, replace also all the paralleled 75K resistors per color (fe by 47K+27K) to prevent bright color raster (they can also become open circuit)
