Thats the same blasted chassis I was moaning about in my Space Command Frustration posts a few months ago. I has to put that one to the side. Never did get anywhere with the thing with darn near a complete recap. Maybe they should have went with the printed circuit because I got no satisfaction out of that idea. I will be realistic and admit that it is not that I have a poorly manufactured product but like what automechanics has also become I am using a parts changing aproach to fixing a problem with a marginal amount of knowledge and equipment. Like many collectors I dont own a shop or have a lot of equipment and I never worked as a TV repairman in any decade much less the 50s. In most any set there is one or two components causing any given problem. The knowledge and ability to weed out those items quickly would be nice as opposed to the limitations of trying to use an ohm meter in search of bad resistors and capacitors.
