Yup...the 1010 is deffinately gonna be a project.

I have two of those now...."in a basket". I ended up tearing the flexi circuit and had to mess with the connections on both sides of that small rigid ribbon cable. I'd had the original set since new, and had nursed it back once from a loss of vertical. Now it's just a basket case since it lost all signs of having a tuner one day and I was only making it WORSE getting into it. I have it and a "parts set" that showed up doing NOTHING...both in a little Kleenex box coffin.

Decided to just pay attention to keeping the 1020,1030 and CT101 up and running.

The 101 DOES have a terribly creaky case...and always appears to just not be right, but that set has not ever given me drama.

well i capped the section that runs verticle, horizontal, hv, and still no horiz deflection or crt heater voltage. i applied 3v to the crt heater and it glows so thats ok so now i will change the horiz deflection controller ic. got nothing to loose but time. although it does have some hv, 2kv but dont know what its supposed to be, i would think it wont be much more for a 1 inch crt.

With no horizontal....I'm surprised you have HV (and 2K on a 1" set sounds about right if I had to just guess). I forgot who, but someone around here was floating around with a SAMS or at least some schematics for this 1010 set. I almost asked him for a copy.

well it looks to me that the crt heater wires come from the flyback so unlees the drive is low due to a bad ic, i dont know but it would be cool to get this thing running.

Probly won't be too much drama as long as you don't hamfist the little flexi circuits like I did. This is NOT the sort of set to get impatient with (EXACTLY what I did when I got it to go and suddenly nothing when I put it together again). There IS a 1010 schematic or SAMs being offered by one of the users here. If I could remember who it was...he'd likely just email it to you.

I was gonna ask him for a copy...but it would likely lead me to get back into the little thing (I have TWO now...both not working), and it's not really a fun set to work on....but they are fun to have running :-)

Are you sure that all the traces are intact? It is very difficult to do a point to point continuity test on those circuit boards. I completely recapped the main board on mine, and was confident that I repaired all the traces, when the ribbon cable tore completely off - now it is living in a scrap parts junk drawer. I saved the CRT as part of my CRT collection. I bought a replacement unit in excellent physical condition, but not working condition, as a placeholder for my collection. I will not be attempting to repair another 1 of these again.

well i got the horiz deflection running and got 4700kv at the crt and 550 volts for focus only now i dont have verticle all i have is a line across the screen but i think i damaged the verticle deflection processor by probing and i think i touched 2 terminals and shorted it or the short was there when the diode went bad and now it shows since the horiz is running . now the verticle ic gets hot on the ic where there is voltage at the pin that should not have what it does. i subbed the focus diode for one i have but im going to put a 1n4007 which i think is 1000v 1a. this circuit supplys alot more then i thought being this diode was bad i had nothing. i located an electronics joint in la that has this verticle ic so i might as well just do it and get it over with. for anyone that wants to work on these little sets had better think twice because it is extremly difficult to get around inside without any wires breaking off or trying not to move the ribbons around. the ribbon already broke and i repaired it.

This model is so prevalent on EBay, it's far easier and cheaper to get a working model on EBay. Of course I appreciate the fascination, challenge and couriosty to dig into the works of these tiny televisions. Just ask the seller the apprioate questions to verify the set is working.

I say this with the understanding that I pocess virtually no skills in television repair. :-)
