1975 Sears Sanyo 19" Color

[zeno]

That cap is trouble in ALL brands. If the 4.7 dont fix it just do a
grey scale on it, someone may have fudged it to get by. These were good sets, MUCH better than a tube Sanyo. Most Jap tube sets were pretty crappy with a
few exceptions.

That cap did the trick. The gray scale is perfect, didn't need to touch anything there, just had to turn the screen back up, the picture was so bright with the bad cap I had to turn it all the way down. Got the focus dialed in, it could be a little sharper but there's no sharpness control and I don't want to start turning random pots because most of them aren't labeled. The color flaring is still there, but now only if the color is turned way up, so I'm going to call it good.

Any idea if there's a way to adjust the width? It's quite a bit wider than I want it.

I might start a new thread and see if anyone's got the schematic or anything on this. There's a label inside the back cover but only has the transistor locations and I'd like to know a little more about this set.

Well done Joe !
Looks normal to me. It wasnt an expensive set so detail wont be
like a Zenith, RCA, Sony etc. Thats one of the things you pay for.
Be sure the main B+ is right, if high will cause wide pix. Keep in
mind with all the formats width can fool you. Try an old VCR if you
have one to judge the width. All sets will be slightly over scanned also.
Post the model ## I cant quite read it. I should have the manual if
need to dig deeper......

That looks GREAT!
