Thanks to Dave A for the UHF tuner strip.
I was particularly impressed by the free shipping and the
return address on the box.
The strip had the worst case of sulfide attack I have ever seen.
Everything copper, silver, or brass was covered with a thick black fuzz.
This responded to no chemical attack alone so I used a half a box of
Q tips and Brasso, followed by lots of alcohol,
more Q tips, and then De-oxit.
The strip comes as Ch. 34 but changing to 39 is very easy:
tune the oscillator with a spectrum analyzer, tune in the station,
and tweek the RF adjustments for a good picture.
I'm now now looking at some woman with horrible splotches
of something white on her face ... this is a shopping channel.
But its real, analog NTSC, OTA TV. I think she is in need
of a sunburn remedy. That's probably what it is ... I have the sound off.
