This set has three seperate chassis. The "main" chassis sits on the bottom of the cabinet and houses the tuner, video and audio IF, and the deflection circuits. The "vision" chassis lives inside the swivel box at the top of the cabinet. It houses the CRT and video circuits. Then there is a radio chassis that houses the radio as well as some of the controls for the TV.

Radio chassis:

Main chassis:




I am about 85% of the way there with this one, I just need a gentle push to get it finished. I have recapped all three chassis and I'm down to just a few issues left to resolve.

1- The focus control is right up to the end of its adjustment in order to get a focused picture. I'm not sure where the CRT neck will fit in the focus coil when it's in the cabinet so it might not be enough adjustment.

2- The horizontal centering does not work.

3- There is an intermediate loud crackle or distortion that happens after the volume control.

4- There is an odd "zipper" interference in the video. You can see that interference here https://youtu.be/zgcznUOokvw.

I don't know which problem to tackle first.
