its been a while so I decided to fire this one up again. The tint range is not very effective, the flesh tones don't really change much, the greens go from weak green to weak blue but not by much. the Tint also seems to cause the color to intensify in one direction, like its change the amplitude of the reference as well as the phase. I was thinking of putting my scope on it to see, but I would rather just use my vector scope, but I have it in storage so will have to put that off. I would like to see if the tint control is increasing the petals as well as rotating them.
This set has the pot for a tint control, so it uses a variactor diode, rather than just a variable cap for tint.
any one have any exp with variactor diodes as far as failure modes? that is do they ever become less effective with age and use or is it an all or nothing kind of thing?
