Okay so I've been in consultation with Mr. Bob whose renowned over at AVS with trying to keep RPTV's alive and well. So after contacting him he gave me step by step instructions on how to clean my three lenses on my Pioneer 620 HDTV. Now about every two years I would do a basic clean to remove the dust off my top lenses on my CRT RPTV but was afraid to do the underside lenses. After given instruction on how to do it. I removed the three "cans" but only one at a time as each lens has its own focusing for each primary color and you never want to mix those up and wow what a bunch of grime and insects and a dog hair to boot on the underside. Once carefully cleaning (not with a microfiber cloth like I had been for years incorrectly mind you) but with plain white paper towels and ammonia free windex my image has never been clearer. Granted they had never been clean in 11 years and my Pioneer has so little usage (still under 4000 hours total on set in 11 years). It made my image look as sharp and bright as the day it arrived at my house.
So for those who never have cleaned their lenses or deep optics clean on their older RPTV it might be time to do it. Just incredible results now that the light engine is not hindered by all that dust and grime which really softened up the image. It takes about 2 hours to do but well worth it.
