I haven't had to do an awful lot to get it going, but I have bodged the burst-gate to get the PAL switch and subcarrier regenerator to operate correctly and that will need fixing properly sometime soon. The attached picture of the set (model CVB100) is quite small, there is a bigger picture at: http://www.oldtechnology.net/misc/CVB100.jpg

Kind regards.

BEAUTIFUL SET MIKE! I love the cabinet styling and the picture is phenomenal. Great job on the restoration.

I think the DTV boxes are a great thing. They seem to have a better appearance over all because of the ability to cram more color information in the signal. Colors are brighter, clearer, better contrast and finer detail.

You might check the linearity on your 15. Looks as though the picture is squashed a bit on the bottom. Other than that the color looks great!
