Sencore VA-62

I took a gamble and picked up one of these in unknown condition for about $50.



I crossed my fingers and powered it up. It actually seems to work properly
I don't have any manuals, but I think I can figure out the basics. All the RF-IF modes seem to work. It would be so, so nice if the programmable IF could go down to 21 MHz, but it bottoms out at 35.

I haven't tried the Ringing Test or Drive Signals yet. I think I'll need a manual for that.

Below are the test patterns on my Panansonic Tau TV. I suspect the flaws are in the TV and not the Sencore. Can anyone clue me in on what the 'Chroma Bar Sweep' is for ?

Crosshatch and Dots
