Here's what my manual has for the TMA96 - hope it helps with the tuner woes.

Cheers,

Wow, Ed! That's a nice looking 16!

I had one similar a few years back, but the top of the cabinet was in pretty bad shape due to getting wet for a very long time. It was a remote set. I gave it to Rich since he was tinkering with rebuilding cabinets back then.

seems the caps are fine, full voltage quickly, no heat, so I plugged in all the tubes and will hook up the crt/yoke/convergence bd tonight for a full power up. I will monitor the B+ current still.


will do this all later today, will post the results later.
wish me luck...

since I had the sams resistance tables I started check some, on the vert tube I had an odd reading on of the pins, noticed it was the vert hold, no big its just the position of the pot, move the pot and I get wild swings. check the pot and indeed it must be very dirty, so will clean up the pot before powering it up. I am just a bit paranoid about that vertical circuit

This was the first color roundie I saw with the swivel base so I had to buy it and rebuild it. The one side of the cabinet was facing a patio door so the finish is not so great but a good cleaning and some old English fixed it. Most of the tme I do not mess with the cabinets on the old tv's other than cleaning and polish. I would make the problem much worse if I got out the sand paper and such.

I will check it out. Are those replacement signal diodes I see for the Se?

ah I see it, on mine, do you have a 1NXXXX recommedation? I have some 1N60s germanium if you think they would be a better match that silcon signal diodes.

I took the diodes from a early solid state 70's xl 100 convergence board. Found out some of the ss parts in the 70's sets work quit well in the older tube type chassis so I have been on the look out for them. Last weekend I bought two xl 100 chassis for parts. I think I read that the 1n60's will work but never used them.
