RCA XL-100 Help

[blue_lateral]

Try reseating the modules, try adjusting the sharpness. I really don't know what it would cost to have someone fix it, I would think that the toughest part would be finding someone to do it. Techs tend to be wary of older sets because they think they wont stay fixed, and they'll be expected to fix it for free as an ongoing thing. If you have a TV shop local, though it might be easier now. Theres not many repairable sets coming through the doors.

Most of my TV experience is with tube sets, but I did once own an XL-100, and I did have to change some small electrolytics in it. I would try recapping the video before I threw it away. There are people on this board who know these sets inside out, Im hoping someone will jump in here. When they were new, you were just supposed to replace modules. If someone has the offending module cheap it's still probably the best way. If not, they can be serviced like any other set.
