First, I see the resolution of the video. Yes!

This little set has probably never seen such a clean signal... Are you going thru the tuner?

Sure. I'm using an over the air ATSC to NTSC converter box. The RF output on channel 3 is going through a 75-300 balun into the antenna terminals on the back of the set.

Loving the way this set has come back to life. Excellent work, as usual.

So what is the test pattern showing the video response at?

I think around 3.5 MHZ. I'd have to dig out the Sencore VA62 manual to know for sure. Also, I haven't done an alignment on this set yet.

WOW! That thing really came back to life! It looks a lot better all cleaned up. I hope you can find a bezel for it. That picture looks perfect!

Thanks. I'll wait a while and if a bezel doesn't turn up I'll break out some Bondo and try to repair this one.

If anyone can do it, it's you! As I said before, Your restorations are second to none.
If there's anything I can't stand, it's a hack restoration.:thumbsdn:
