I tried to look up the number on that diode pack on the convergence board and got nothing. Anybody got a pinout on that?

Also whats the deal with the motors on the back of the tuners? I don't think this model had a remote......

Check the early television museum for that schematic.

Did you already look to see if it is or isn't there? (It isn't). You are sending him on a wild goose chase.

That's why I said check ETF , for him to check to see if it's there. If I checked already myself and it was there I would have told him it was at the ETF. No goose chases.

The point I was trying to make is if you had checked yourself, he wouldn't have to.

Sometimes it's just makes a whole lot of sense to check yourself first rather than give a blind lead to someone. It was probably quicker for you to have checked the ETF site than it was to type in your post. Took me less than 10 seconds to look and see it wasn't there.

Guys, guys, simmer down, no goose chase here. ETF only has roundies.

I fixed the scratchy sound, there's a 3 pin connector near the power transformer on the chassis that was dirty.

As for the lack of a schematic, that is motivated by my cheapness, Sam's wants $22 for a single folder (881 folder 3 in my case).

Look for an online outlet selling second hand original hard copies. The quality will completly beat the official Sam's and usually one quarter the price.,

I sucked it up and got a digital Sam's. I replaced that pesky diode pack with discrete silicon diodes and BAM! nearly perfect convergence

Chances are, the set was equipped with a remote control, as the manual tuned sets didn't have motor driven pots on them. Some of the manual tuned sets did have a motor driven tuner, but that's about it.
I don't remember where the remote receiver was located. Maybe on the TMA or mounted on the main chassis. Another senior moment.
