Well I sat that crazy Space Command to the side and pulled out the old RCA 8T-243 that I was posting about my CRT and proper ion trap last year. This set seems more hopefull for repair and I know it holds more value. I have partially recapped the set and changed maybe 6 resistors. Right now the horiz frequency is off. There is a horiz lock adjustment on the back but I never got it to straighten up. I have good sound and from what I can tell good video. I have a good feeling knocking out some more black beauties may bring this one back to life. I need knobs and a back cover if anyone has spare parts.

I believe I have knobs for you, and a channel insert as well. If you can post a pic of which knobs it's got, I'll dig them out.

And I have two of these. Thats it unfortunately. It would be highly apreciated if you did have the rest. Just PM me if you want with your price and any needs you may have and well go from there.

Thanks so much!!

Here's a good picture of what they look like.
All the inner knobs look the same but the one for the fine tuning has a bigger hole.

Just for the record the two inner knobs that I do have are identical. In other words not for fine tuning. The channel sleeve is very important to me since the set looks awful without it. Eric do you have a pic of a channel sleeve?
