I thought this would happen-I decided to treat this "guest" properly and I brought it in from the cold shed to my warm tv room tonight. (my back did not thank me) I have to wonder what my neigbor must think. Anyway, I kinda wanted something to tinker with.
The tuner is very weak...actually, I haven't yet tuned in anything on VHF. (haven't tried a dvd player or anything) I can get only the strongest of the UHF stations, and then only with a very strong antenna. I cleaned the tuner, poked and prodded...dug out the Sams and gave it a once over, adjusted the agc. I pulled the IF module, which has no obvious problems. Then I got to remembering, and as dumb luck would have it, the lone Sylvania module I have is the very one! NOS Sylvania part. Swapped it in, no change at all. So I'm guessing it's something tuner related, I don't know. Any ideas? Chassis E41-1, Sams 1687-2. CRT tests good. An honest to goodness solid wood cabinet. (just a little bit of particle board down bottom) So I hate to junk it, but again, it is only a guest...there is no room at the inn! I won't invest much time in it, and no money, but will play with it just a little more. Would love to find a home for it.
