Terry, a VCR should provide a color signal that will work?
I checked all the tubes in the color circuits, someone had subbed a 6GH8 in place of one of the 6U8's. I didn't have one handy so I swapped it into the other position but made no difference.
I would think this would be an acceptable sub?
I twiddled the killer trimmer, the fine tuning, the horiz hold and nothing I did produced anything at all. There is no color snow, rainbow bars or any hint of color at all.
Would this suggest the 3.58 osc is not running?
I guess I'm going to have to pull the chassis and rig it up so I can run it and access the underside.
(Note: the chassis has been completely recapped)
I did manage to get my hand across the fuse
but I'm running an isolation transformer so it only went through one hand.
Rob, your right, the CRT is pretty soft, it has that shiny look at the base from having a million hours on it.
I will probably wind up putting the rebuilt FBP (JP?) in after I get the chassis fixed.
