GOOD FOR YOU MY FRIEND
Thanks! Once I get going on a set, I'm pretty tenacious. Especially with these Admirals now that I have some experience with them.

Adjusting the width and drive did help. The lines vary a lot depend on the programming. It's especially bad in dim scenes.



I put the chassis into my blonde 30A16 Admiral cabinet and retired the unrestored green cadmium monster that had been in there to the attic.
The sound really surprised me. It was much louder with my cable hookup than on the workbench.


All was well for about 45 minutes then the vertical went haywire
I guess I'll be pulling it back out sooner than later. Oh the joys of running vintage sets
