Looking for a Sony TV-511 schematic, it's a little 5" b/w set from 1979 with the rotating CRT. Worked for a couple of minutes, then the picture faded out. Not finding anything on Sam's website. Found one online retailer selling the TV-511E (E = Euro version), which would probably suffice but would prefer to find an accurate schematic for this model if possible.

Thanks,
Michael

Do a saved search for that model on eBay and when one comes up for sale you’ll get a notification. Might check the crt heater solder connections and see if you have any cold joints.

All of the Sony B&W sets I have seen use exactly the same chassis and circuitry for US and and EU models. The tuner will be different but the rest of the manual should be completely usable.

Thanks--I'll get the 511E schematic then.

The CRT heater does continue to glow while there is no picture, so I'm suspecting a power supply/HV supply issue. At first had a really hard time getting a horizontal lock, and audio was not great considering I was using a DVD player source. Lots of 1979 electrolytics in there that may be to blame.
