Looking for parts i picked up a 1977 model with a digital tuner. T995 will not come on at all. Where do i look first?

[DavGoodlin]

Is that a "Touch-tune" and was it made in Fort Wayne?

I had one of those as my living room set for 18 years after I replaced the CRT in 1985! I still have the entire chassis, tuner and remote.

You need to start buy looking for the power relay on the remote chassis and jump across the contacts. That will eliminate much stuff.

It is a touch tune but was made in tenessee. What part usually goes bad in tuner power supply? Was made may 1977.Model RH4668

I looked over the tuner and someone has spilled coffee on a third of the unit. I am thinking it will have to be replaced. I tried cleaning but it looks like some of the ics are gone.

You should start a new thread for this set in the Rectangular Solid State Forum, it'll get more response than posting in an old thread about a different set.

Does anyone have parts for a T995 chassis?

[Firebird]

DavGoodlin i could use the tuner and remote parts. Please let me know if you would like to sell them.

[DavGoodlin]

Yes, Firebird the tuner and remote are good to go. It was made in Sept 1977 in Indiana, NAP must have closed the plant right after that when they moved to Tennessee and continued building the same good (at that time) stuff.

The chassis has a video issue that is NOT solder-related. That and a failing CRT caused me to junk this after 18 years in my living room(s):tears), I do not foresee getting another Mag like this, as I have narrowed focus to older stuff 'cuz I like tubes so much (plus I have a ton of them)

PM me with your location.

[Firebird]

I sent an email. I need to know how to handle the shipping. I think i may need the chassis too.

Dave we have sound, but no picture.

Clicks off after 20 seconds. Picture tube does not light up.

How come if you are not an old member your problem does not receive any attention?

Do you mean the the CRT heater doesn't light up or, no raster on the screen? I don't remember if the CRT has a fuse like the Zeniths have.
Please don't think of us as slighting you, but we have to remember what happened many years ago. The last time I worked on one of these was 1991.
