Set color killer control fully CCW, set Tint control to center of it's range.
-notes killer in full off setting to be set later, Tint mid range to be calibrated later.

Connect color bar generator to ant inputs, adjust for normal color reception. Short pin 1 of Burst Amp, V22 to gnd.

notes, suggestion of color bar generator was for non-changing stable input, and any paused video from DVD or the like can be used, or else levels will change as video moves, changes, Shorting of burst amp pin 1 is to be sure no killer input is going to it & it is in fully on state. Easy access to pin 1 via killer pot R10.

Connect DC probe of volt meter to pin 1 of phase detector through a 470k resistor. (V23)
adjust A15 for max deflection ( most voltage ? ) if no reading, osc is not running, adjust A16 to start, & retry. Remove short from pin 1 of burst amp, adjust A17 for max deflection on meter, make sure osc is running and locked in.

notes , Phase detector looks to be isolated , via the 330 pf caps and fed pulses from L30, so I assume the 470k resistor is used to not load it down when doing this setup, I did see the voltage peak when adjusting A15 & A17 , but no kind of “lock” per-sey, just different degrees of barber poling when the short was removed from the burst amp, but it DID have some visual effect when removed.

Short point J to GND, remove meter from prev step, adjust A16 until color bars stand still or drift slowly. Remove short from point J , check to see that color bars sync with low input signal. Retouch A16 for best hold as needed.

notes, I tried this step, even though I was never able to get any sort of “lock/hold” as mentioned in the step before, and no adjustment of A16 was able to get a hold, just as mentioned above, varying degrees of barber poling.
I have not gone on to the last steps, obviously.

I did see healthy pulses into the phase det, ( shown in prev entry ) , and at point J, a sign-wave, at 1 ms per division on the scope, but could also see noise at higher scan rates, ( not sure if that's normal or not, prob is. )

I am still not done going over the osc / osc-cont area yet cap wise, not really found much yet, but SOMETHING, is not right, cause with the fed in video, going through that AFC set up, I should have been able to get a lock of some sort by now.

And as I mentioned, I know for sure that L24 & L25 were replaced before I got this thing, and never really adjusted as far as I can tell, but as mentioned a while back, this is not related to my current headache, and just hope it does not come back to bite later...
