You hit the nail on the head... Expensive. No matter what maintenance or repair, $1000 to start.

Ok. Unplug the TPS connector and check the voltage between the black and grey wire with the key on. Voltage should be approximately 5 volts. Plug the connector back in and with the key on, check between the blur and black wires. Voltage should be approximately 0.8 V. Unlike the Renix, yours is not adjustable so if bad you have to replace.
Also try adjusting your TV cable.

Alright, let me know what you find out. If you needed a meter, I had a good one you could borrow.
