Philco Predicta Debutante

Here is the picture of my recapped board and replaced out of tolerance resistors on the main board.

Progress so far, but there is still a lack of raster at the bottom of the screen. Not to figure out this issue.

Have you tried adjusting the height and vertical linearity controls? Their location is shown in the Sams manual.

Hard to tell from your photo exactly what else is going on. Was the picture rolling or stationary when you took the photo?

You were right Phil! After twiddling with the vertical linearity control, I was able to fill the screen. The rolling black lines are just camera sync issues, the screen had a nice steady raster. I'll get the electrolytics mounted a little neater next and apply a video source.

Almost forgot a pic of what the set looks like. It's the hotel white model with the instructions on the top of the cabinet for the user. I'm missing the contrast and volume knobs too.

Could you share a good close-up shot of that hotel instruction label? I wonder if anyone has made repros of it? I've got a couple sets that could use replacement labels.

Thanks.

I tried and got it better, but too much movement on either the vertical linearity or height and the vertical collapses.
