Admiral 14R12 Restoration

[Crist Rigott]

I recapped the Video Amp, Sync Amp-Sync Sep., and Sync Clipper. I powered it up and still no audio except some hash which goes to a loud buzz when I touch the center wiper on the volume pot. Basically the same thing as before. I'm thinking that the trouble lies in the IF stages or tuner.

BTW, the tuner inserts have numbers on them that seem to correspond to channel numbers. Does the ones with "4F" on them equal channel 4? I need to know so I can be sure I'm on channel 4 because my CD player and RF modulator are set to Channel 4.

Another thing, I remember seeing something about hooking up a CD player directly to the video section? thus bypassing the tuner. Can this be done?

Recapping that's left are the 3 IF stages, Sound IF Amp, and the Ratio Detector.

Thanks.
