I finished the recap earlier, and now am sort of satisfied with the picture.


Seems like the alignment is goofy. On rabbit ears and my TX it does not get enough signal to produce sufficient contrast, and chroma is very noisy, it only seems to get sound on the ragged edge of the picture finetuning, and AGC does not seem to do anything. Feeding it directly with a VCR gives plenty of contrast and less chroma noise also optimum chroma, luminance and sound get close enough to have all fairly decent to optimum simultaneously (also the AGC has an effect). Can't totally ditch the chroma noise though (thinking about it maybe the garage fluorescents are interfering).

I think it is about time to harvest the 21AXP22.

Good to know. I need to keep an eye out for more of them. I've got 4 but 5 of the 4 are needed by sets (it would be more if I did serious watching on more of my collection).
