    Twitter is a useful tool. It forces those with nothing useful to say to demonstrate that in 137 characters or less. We don't have that limitation here.

    I read your post three times before I finally figured out what you were trying to ask. An intelligent use of the shift key, and of punctuation would help considerably.

    You can swap any boards which have the same board number between sets. I'm not sure who made your TVs; most hits from Googling Vimax refer to a herbal 'male enhancement' product.

        Good to know. That is a common configuration.

        Notice that the power supply must be readjusted for the panel - voltages are on a label on the panel. When testing move the Y-sustain and Y-buffers as a unit from one panel to the other; a bad Y-buffer can blow the Y-sustain.
