I think it was only a topic via the email conversations. In any event, I still need to figure out which standard the set uses. To that end, I figured that getting the thing to actually run is the best way to do it. My brother is taking far too long to get the schematics in order, and I already have the horizontal section half ass working. Nevermind the fact that the schematics are causing their own set of issues, as far as being easily interpreted over the internet. Since the horizontal section is the heart of any receiver, it's a logical starting point. Once I have stable high voltage and sweep, I can hook up one of the CRT's and see if an NTSC signal does anything. I have a strong suspicion that it was modified at some point to use the later standard, but began life as a CPA platform- a test bed of sorts.
If it does turn out to be CPA, Darryl will definitely be getting a call from me. Rest assured, I will not stop until I am able to get some sort of picture out of this thing- hopefully a color one.
