Set is pretty much finished now as far as the innards, now I have to refinish the top (water stains but intact) and fix a few small chunks out of the top edge. The horizontal crookedness sort of just fixed itself one night but I reflowed the solder points on the horiz board just in case.
I just don't see the need for the brightener, I set the guns up according to above instructions and the kine pot is only turned up about 25% of it's travel and then I had to back down on the guns a little so when brightness is turned to 100% it doesn't overdo it and start to bloom on a white raster or get retrace lines. Other than that this thing is bright and tests great, boy oh boy was I worried when I first pulled off the back and found that stupid brightener! Bunch of other stuff was wrong with the set so I can see where they thought what the hell, put one on.
Anybody got an extra "COLOR" label that goes below the pic tube? At least I assume that's what the label said, goes next to the 'New Vista'. Appx 4" x 3/8". Some kid musta peeled it off 40 years ago. thanks
