This has been on the way back burner for a while. So after getting the

Emerson 1232 up and running, I figured its time to try my hand on this one.

Contrary to what I had read it is not all that bad to service, thanks for the

nudge dtvmcdonald.

After replacing the electrolytic caps & brief variac power up. I was greeted with

a dim, shrunken, blurry video and distorted audio. Along with a whiff of smoke.

Time to chill for the night & review service info.
