well, if they messed with the coils, which are tuned from the top, who knows what kind of a mess they made :/

yeah forgot the coils indeed :/

[Rocket]

Yeah np, and drill bit for the small holes and a step bit would be great for the larger ones indeed

my newly repaired TV pattern generator

which had 3 fried resistors, I think my dad did something stupid with it :/ ( he built it after all ) so I took a guess on the values

i now have an input source, other than an old VCR... :P

that's pretty awesome!!

being tested after the latest round of resistor replacement. ( with repaired bar /dot )

Also a shot with the chassis in " service " position

it even looks like we have the same cabinet! the harper from 1966 I believe.

BTW: RCA color with separate tuner chassis tip: the tuner sub-chassis should have two half-moon tabs on it's chassis a distance away from everything that seem weird and pointless...Those tabs screw down to the main chassis (IIRC on either side of the interlock) securing the tuner to the main chassis in the factory recommended chassis out service position...

It took me a while to figure that out on mine and in the meantime that cables flexed so much that wires broke off tuner chassis terminals causing more work for me (the tuner IF coax was among the more annoying repeat breaks)...Don't follow my initial bad practice.

hmmm maybe you actually have the Suffolk

yeah, that looks like it,

$500 in 1966 = $3600 now

Yeah! isn't that crazy! I think you could buy a car around 2k or so

OK... I get SLIGHT color rainbowing when i try to get the color bars to show up via tuner.
but I still DID get that blue color screen from the VCT to show on it when i injected video at 1st video amp. ( this was something I never did when I first got it, and falsely thought it was a bandpass failure )
this weekend will start to attack the IF section resistors.
