Some Photofact manuals perhaps in the 1980s had scope pictures of the chroma bar signal in various circuits. I think you got a bargain!
Thanks for the info. I've read these are tricky to service so I'm really glad it's working

I will be soon as I need to clean some dirty controls. I'll let you know what I find.
