Well, here's the latest news on the Heathkit: I finished the full recap, replaced a bunch of bum tubes and then did a voltage run up and very soon had sound and picture. 1st major fault was that the local color osc won't lock and keeps coming up with slightly high multiples of the correct frequency! I've got to track this down. 2nd fault occurred after the set had run for about 1/2 hour, with a large drop in the Y signal. I haven't got this nailed yet either. Overall pix frequency response is good.
Don't get the idea that I'm whipped on this one, just have to give it some reasonable diagnostic time. I've decided I'm not going to touch the cataract until everything else is under control.
The recommended production changes (page of 138 in the manual) have been done; no further modifications. Don't worry!
