Here's what I have been able to figure out so far..... The problem seems to be in the video deflection section since the picture is OK color and convergence wise. The entire VIDEO TUNER ASSY (part num AWV1175) which contains the video deflection section (as well as the tunner and control sections) is still available for the SD-P5053K from Pioneer for about $230 with shipping. I'm going to first give repairing the board a shot (replacing caps) if I can get a hold of the needed SD-4053 service manual as they are out of print from Pioneer, but seem to be available as copies from third parties. If that doesn't work out, then the big decision is to decide if it's worth the $230. The set is in great shape other than this annoying problem, so will probably go that far to fix. The fact the board is one of the few boards still available from Pioneer and that they want the old one back ($150 core charge) tells me that they expect to be selling more than one of these.....
