Early Chromacolor II, $22 on craigslist

[radiotvnut]

That too is my favorite Chromacolor II and they used to be common as dirt when I was a teenager in the early to mid '90's. Most of the ones I found were easy to repair and had great pictures. I found one about a year ago (19HC48, 10/76) for $10. It works; but, I've still got to do some work on it to get it just right. Sometimes, the picture gets very dim. A slap on the case may restore it for 10 minutes or 2 weeks. I cleaned all the switches & controls as well as resoldered and reseated the modules. I thought I had it fixed; but, it started doing it again and I have not had a chance to go back into it. I need to move it into the house so I can see what kind of reaction I get from the cable guy when he comes to hook me up Thursday! It's strange that these sets went from being common to hard-to-find almost overnight.
