New proect! 1953 Hoffman Television Super Receiver Mark V Tv Phono Radio Console

[Yamamaya42]

As you can see, the set is pretty close to done, just a few minor things to do to it left.

I decided NOT to attempt an IF alignment on it after seeing the video was cleaner on CH4 than 3, and may even be better on higher channels, and chances were 50/50 of making it worse/better w/o correct equipment, as sweep marker generators for 45.75mhz are sill around, but 25.5mhz is almost, but not quite unobtainium.
The picture it produces now is pretty good for it's age, just some slight ringing seen in it, not TOO bad, if I wanted it any better at this point, I'd have to make up a video amp and boost the composite input to 5v P2P, and right now, it's not really worth it.

All that remains to be done now is to replace the asbestos DEATH sheet heat shield that was above the AMP/Radio unit, that thing puts out a HECK of a lot of heat, perhaps add a fan to it, add a secondary grounding wire between all the chassis units, and add a master power strip, I don't like how it was all originally daisy chained.
