Phil, you're in the exact same boat that I am in. You need to build the 1 transistor video amplifier that everyone guided me to build. This will give you video with the correct polarity and you can add a potentiometer in the circuit that will give you your "picture" control back. I plan on rewiring the control in my set to control the video amp instead of the IF gain as I plan on permanently using direct injection.
