Hi Dave.
The sound is there, but there is some buzz with the video fine tuned in. It has had sound since before I got the horizontal section to function...Though before I worked on the video and AGC it would loose sound well below the highest AGC setting that produces video.
I've been working on my TVs less lately as there are radio meets I need to prepare stuff to sell at in order to have money to keep getting stuff I need for my projects, and to make space so I can accommodate new finds...I do get sick of radio work from time to time and switch to TVs to keep sane.

The Pontiac is from the 60s. I suppose what you said about cars made after the 70s was a thinly-veiled dig at my love for the Mercury Lynx.
As I recall, even YOU made a crack about Elvis' TV the last time it was posted here. Edit, after some investigating: You did! And in this thread no less! Go ahead and burn your Elvis records if you want, makes no difference to me.
I'm outta here. Taking my jokes, and my support, elsewhere.

Touchy, touchy KV-1926R!...
You are reading things in my post that were never written, implied, or thought. I was not offended, but I did not get much of an impression comedic tone from the quoting of the 'nut' comment so I was merely pointing out that I said it for humor lest you think I'm actually someone who thinks of himself as nuts(which I don't...Usually
). There was never a 'dig at your love of the Lynx'. That statement about my taste in cars was if you actually meant to post a picture of a 5 year old ruined Ford(one of those I would not touch with a 10' pole). As far as taste in cars goes to each his own...I may not find anything redeeming in the styling or mechanics of a Lynx, but that is no reason for you not to. Even the Yugos of the car world should at least have an example or two preserved so future generations can see what tradeoffs were considered acceptable by a given maker at a given time, and it is folks with different tastes from average that keep cars like that existent for future generations that may come to love once odd ball cars or need to gain historical perspective from them.
The comment about the Elvis tangent was not addressed to you alone but to every one who commented on the Elvis TV and posted photos of stuff not related to Sylvania TVs. The burning records comment was a bit of a comical exaggeration of my dislike of the thread being driven off topic by that. I did comment on it twice(the second time had a 'veiled' attempt to imply I was getting tired of the off topic posts and it was direct and strongly implied when I later started a post with 'Back on topic'). To be fair I did not start the Elvis tangent which occupied nearly one third of the first two pages of posts and about two thirds of the second page as well. There was a thread on or derailed by the Elvis TV months before this topic, discussion of it here is redundant.
I have seen threads on here get SEVERELY topic hijacked, and want to prevent that in my topic here. I want to prevent that because if It gets too out of control I'll have to either abandon this topic and start a new one on the same thing, or ask the mods to edit out and or delete the hijack posts....Both of which would likely ruffle a few feathers, and be very rude. Do you have a problem with me trying to prevent things from getting to the point of having to stoop to that? I'm fine with and, given what I'm working on, expect some jokes, but when a tangential topic dominates a page or more of posts in my thread I have every right to ask that it not turn turn in to a hijack, and continue on under it's own separate topic, and that tangents in the future not go too far. Perhaps I went too far with the 'burning records' comment, and am now making an ass of my self over explaining it...
NO offense or insult was intended now or before. Sorry if it sounded that way...
What is the story on that Pontiac BTW?
Adam, that Plymouth story is really interesting thanks for the link. Too bad they did not do a better job of keeping the water out... Someday I'm going to have the money and or luck to have a vintage car of my own to work on.
PS: to the mods I don't feel any need to edit anything in this topic presently.
