The picture is amazingly good ! I bet it's as good as the day the set was made. Mind you as I hinted at before this set is definitely a "low mileage" in fact I think it's only just "run in"

As for the potential soldering issues with these sets I think what I intend to do (once the IC socket arrives) is to systematically take out each panel and thoroughly inspect and re-solder as necessary as I have already done with the RGB panel.
I'm looking forward to using the Pye with all the 70s & 80s sitcom DVD's we have, they look so much better viewed on a CRT set rather than the modern flat panel we have in the room.
