Rca 8ts30

I'm happy to report that the fault was not with the television, but rather my dim bulb tester. All voltages are present and accounted for. Thanks for patiently working with me to find the solution. I'll be back with more problems as they arise. I'm so glad the initial tests are good. I was starting to think I had wasted a lot of time and money on something that would never work. By the way, does anyone have any experience with a company called Amptech Systems, and the work they do repairing detent assemblies for the tuning shafts of early model RCA televisions? Mine doesn't click correctly when channels are changed. It seems like $80 is a reasonable price to pay to have it repaired.

I'm not real familiar with your sets specific tuner, but I'd suggest before going to all the bother and expense of removal and shipping, that you post some close up pictures of the mech which may help us better diagnose what the problem could be. It's possible someone had it apart and left a part out. By removal you're inviting more potential for damage and wiring errors.
