I got one bad PDF from SAMS and they replaced it with a paper copy
For free - other couple have been great. One thing I like about digital copies is I never lose them.

Looks like my T-933. The thing on top of the power transformer is a power supply choke. The tuners can be finick as well as the horizontal blanking tube. If the picture is dark, change that tube first!
Of all my color sets, it has the best "dip" in horizontal tube current.

One of these things is not like the others... One of these things just doesn't belong...


I've got everything you have, except for the oven. Instead one of the units has an 8-track in it...

I know, the thrift store tossed a 600$ counter top microwave/convectional oven combo...I just couldn't say no, it has a bad leaf switch somewhere...there are only like 20..

Projects always cost money, and I am in the waiting stage of disability...so my only income is what I can squeeze off ebay, use to make 70k a year on ebay...then I lost me inventory to fire...moved out here into the middle of no where and can maybe get 400-800 a month

I wish someone would give me a 500$ gift card to mouser or digikey so I can get them all done

this is what I was thinking but it says it starts with 924, so not so sure now. Darn magnaovox they have tough chassis numbers
I have this book and it helped me with alot of tubed Mags, BUT a pull-out schematic for a T920 is not included, only a T904 - the first rectangular CRT Magna-color.
My fits on these sets always were CRT and video output related. The sound quality on these Mags was 2nd to none!

Send me a pm with your email and I'll scan you the applicable sections.

I have this book, but, mine does not have a T920 schematic. It does have the series 31,37,41,and 45 schematics. These are for roundies. Mine does not say vol. one so it is an older printing. They are a good resource.

Well, I have some how been able to find accessories for the tv...

Nice horse tv lamp, the original! Manual, and a cool antenna.







I found a nice place right under my work bench, where I will be able to remove the back in a safe area and remove the chassis to test tubes, look at the boards, clean...clean and clean more..

Be thankful you guys have never had arthritis at the age of 30...I do 2 hours of work and I am out for the rest of the day...

I have an old clothes dryer in my bedroom with all my electronic stuff. I had an old microwave/convection oven sitting in the corner for months, also a thrift store find. It's in the kitchen now.

Yup, I'm in a similar financial boat, doing all I can to finally get on my feet. I have a few projects and have been gathering repair supplies as finances permit.
