Okay, lots of responses, so I'll try to respond to all here.

I'm glad it's an Avanti. It's what I've been looking for. Picked it up in Malibu for 50.00.

I purchased the Sams Photofacts for the chassis and did the brightness limiter. I then tried the grayscale adjustments and that's where I ran into an issue. I turned the color control down, turned the red, blue and green fully counterclockwise and set the taps to HI. I then put it into service mode. I was able to get a raster line for the blue and green, but not red. If I turned up the color control, the red line would appear, but wasn't as sharp as the other color lines. Is this normal or is there something I should be looking for that could cause this?

I have a CRT tester and a color bar generator coming on Wednesday. In the mean time, I've vacuumed as much as I can and now need to get in between stuff. Is a soft bristle toothbrush okay for cleaning (no solvent). What are good ways to do the cleaning? Also, is there a way to get the plastic stand a bit more on the white side? I tried a magic eraser, but it didn't work. I think the plastic has yellowed down quite a bit from the surface.

Thanks for the all the great information and advice. I know will all your help she'll be up and going great soon.
