Hello all. I have an old Pioneer 50 plasma PDP 503U TV and a PDP R03U media receiver. It's been through a lot. I got it for free, replaced the power switch thing and it's even been through a house fire and lived (it' slightly melted on the top and permanently discolored).
Within the past year weird squiggly lines will appear when cold but eventually go away after it warms up. The TV will also occasionally flash black then kick back on and sometimes it gets stuck like it zoomed in on one corner of the broadcast. It seems to not be affected as much by dark screens. If I play something in SD the lines return, especially if I stretch it to widescreen. If I box it it's still watchable but the lines do show up occasionally.
I love my TV and can't imagine getting a new one, this picture quality is awesome.
Here are some pictures taken as it warms up, its worst in the morning completely cold.
And, anywhere to get a remote for this thing? I still have mine but it won't work.
