Panasonic B&W small tv problems

[Sealtest]

Here is a Panasonic I am not sure where to start on. When powering up the snow does not fill all the screen, and the whole picture is jittery. When I hooked up a Nintendo Entertainment System the screen formed lines but would not show a proper picture, just bars across the screen.

I know from past experience that a screen that does not fill up means bad caps, but I am not sure how to deal with the other issues.

This tv came from the local recycling center. Every other day I go and grab up any vintage TV I see. Here in rural Tennessee there are plenty of these little tvs but the issue is at this center they sit out in the weather. Maybe this caused some sort of damage? I have dumped water out of TV's and then used them, so maybe not.

The water could have damaged the interior of some components if, as you say, tvs spend their time outside in extreme temperatures like rain or sun .. if the TV has spent weeks or months to such temperatures, yes it may have caused some damage on circuit components

Best bet with wet sets is dry them off fast. Open them up
& use a hair drier.
For the set in question a pic is worth a thousand words.

The hairdryer method is what I use along with a fan. Ive gotten way too used to having to dry out all sorts of electronics. Everything from TVs to macbooks.

Hopefully my pictures attached. I haven’t had much time to Mess with this set since I’ve been trying, and failing, to get some 50s tube sets going.

horz hold is off. IIRC its a coil so you may have to go beyond
a stop. Turn direction of less lines til the pic pops in
