If you can't find it I'll loan you mine. Just pay postage both ways.

Let me know.

PS: When you turn to an unused channel do you have color snow? If so, you need to turn the "color killer" control to the left (or right) to the point where the color snow turns to black and white. If you then go to a color broadcast and have no color until you undo your previous color killer adjustment, you may (may) have additional problem(s). Let me know.


Don't be sorry, I'm just starting out and appreciate all the help i can get.



Right now, I'm going to replace this crystal and recap the set.

in my limited knowledge, 49 yo old caps seem highly suspect. Besides after the debacle with the magnavox, as least i know which end is which on an electrolytic, lol.
