Hi Tom,

A couple months ago the IF started tilting its bandpass shape; a light thump with the foot in front of the set straightened out things for a while, but it got worse and never passes the signal properly via the second detector to the first video amp.

But applying composite video to the composite interface adapter (I had built and added to the set) produced the usual excellent picture.

Then a few weeks ago soft horizontal bars at the line rate started rolling through the picture (but not when using an RF input!?). It looks fine though if you don't watch from 'engineers' distance.

Finally yesterday the picture turned, well, rubbery. Got mad at that and checked stuff till I found a bad/weak 12AT7. It's the sync-amp half I think was causing the problem; the other half is in the vert sync sep ckt.

So, to finally answer your question: I have been watching early Laugh-In shows that Steve Dichter had confirmed some years ago were shot with TK-41's. I found and made screen shots of the 3rd Laugh-In show because a couple of times it shows a TK-41. But, not only the camera can be seen: what it shot is also shown. Never saw that before. Am going to start a new thread w/the CT-100 screen shots.

Pete
