ok button up time I need to go thru my stash of volume control knobs (did not have one when I got it), pretty sure I have one that will work.
Gonna put the orig stereo tuner back in since it has the correct wire harness and works at least as well as the backup I got off ebay.
wiped the insides clean of dust (WAF). I think I will make up a DPDT switch to swich out the speakers between the normal TV output and the stereo output so I can use the stereo amp drive thru the tape input and the decoder box audio out for true stereo. There is plenty of access holes not used on the back.
I managed to crack the back today ((&(*( it) then I tripped and my foot caught it. I will get some 1/8" ply (used in model building) to reinforce the crack, I hate when that happens. Slow setting epoxy should work well with the masonite. It really bugs me when I manage to break something that has gone undamaged for so long.... argh....
The pictrue is looking very nice, I did the grey scale setup per the sams.
It still needs convergence but I would rather do that once I have it inside and where it will be setup to watch.
Just need to make a place for it now
