So this has been awhile.

As far as the 3D printing goes - it's not that exciting of a part. One of the slats on the back had broken off and I had it replaced and glued in. Looks much better now.

That being said...

My set has had a relapse. It's been working fairly well for the past few years since restoration. No serious complaints, save for some bad buzzing when I use my Atari 2600 on it which I think is due to the signal strength and not all that fixable. I've never quite gotten the balance right on the quadrature coil for that.

However, a few weeks ago the color went out. It still has audio and an image, but it's completely black and white.

I'm not entirely sure where to start, save for replacing a few of the tubes in the color section. I'm thinking of maybe trying a new Chroma Amp, but that would just be fumbling in the dark. Does anyone have any guidance on where I could start looking?
