Unfortunately, that's what I've been doing. Based on the waveforms and voltages, the camera should be functional. In the meantime, for the "edgy" and torturous feel, I guess I'll have to clean up and deal with the M7 since it's the only other vintage SD camera I have that is similar in capability.
Really sucks that nos saticons are nill, but it looks like the tubes in this one are good. It honestly looks like for most of this camera's life it was left on preheat mode in a studio. When I first got and fired up the camera, nothing quite matches my awe when I saw the quality it output, before failing.
Either way, I'll go board by board, starting with the PS board. I'll keep posted.
