Thanks! I tacked a wire onto the regulator output to put a meter on it and of course it fired right up. Focus is good and there are no obviously bulging/leaking caps. So I went over the boards and reflowed any dodgy-looking solder joints. Took a while to figure out how it went back together but I got it - and it's still powering right up.
More Nudies here!!!
One interesting thing is there is an obvious knockout for a SCART connector above the RCA jacks; the UL label covers it on the back:
There's also room for another pushbutton next to the AFT button, and round antenna connector options under the location of the 300-ohm antenna terminals. It would be interesting to see if the same cabinet was used for PAL/SECAM sets for other markets. And if so, under what brand(s)?
