I acquired a FADA TV-125 which I am going to pickup this weekend. After doing some searching for a schematic I have had no luck in finding any service information on this model.
Does anyone have a schematic or is there another model (RCA) that is close enough to this set to use?

it's very close to the FADA 895 which i rebuilt a few years ago can be found in SAMS &74 folder 3

Should be similar to the RCA 630-TS if you don't find exact information.

Wow I had the same fada was a cool set but it’s got a lot of caps and a lot of tubes.

Thanks for the information. I will pickup this weekend and recap and see if I even need a schematic.

you will also find many out of tolerance resistors, especially the 39 ohm cathode resistors in the video IF section.

also, the SAMS schematic is set out very strangely and hard to follow, this may be easier

its the riders for the 895, almost the same, but with no audio output tube.

this will also help, as it has waveforms.

Thanks Kirk for sharing this interesting YT-video!:tresbon:
Years ago we had to fight with bad caps, now we have to realize,
that even resistors in a high number have to interchanged.
During the recapping, it is necessary to test all resistors.

Btw., it is a very beautiful TV-set!:rolleyes:
