1976 XAM (Toshiba) 'Deluxe Solid State' 13"

[zenith2134]

I got this tv from a VK member a few months ago and just got around to messing with it again after being in storage. It is a metal-cabinet 13 incher apparently built by Toshiba (it has everything on plug-in module boards which affix to the main chassis board with sockets...and all of them are marked made in Japan) The CRT is a Toshiba black-stripe.

What really impressed me is the build quality of the set...it's very heavy for a 13"... and the picture is quite good as well.

So I went ahead and replaced a handful of electrolytics on the video output and power supply boards since some looked leaky. A simple tuner cleaning & grayscale setup and she's good as new.

Pics to follow.

Right now I have it hooked up to a VCR and a UHF bowtie. Playing some old tapes on the VCR and attempting to dx a bit with the bowtie...tuner seems to be pretty hot so far.
