53 Sylvania first start after recap! HELP

[Mick AV-8]

I will check the cap to see if it is no larger than .005uF.
I was turning and tuning for a few hours..
Tried to plug in a DVD player into the VCR..but found out it was not working.
So I will probably go a get a chepo DVD and look for a modulator.
Any suggestions as to what would be a decend type of modulator?
I had to put my finger over the camera flash..as it keep whipping out the photo picture.
It is not too bad..especially in a dark cellar workshop.

On the right knob..the channel tunner and in the middle is a center knob.
They seem to turn as one..I can hold the outside of the channel tuner knob...and then with other hand turn the center knob. Center knob does not seem to realy do much. So not sure if it is suppose to turn freely from eachother?

I can get a decent picture..then turn the channel tuner about two full turns and pick it up again. I should not do that right..once you have it picked up turning to find it again in another location on the dial wouldnt make the picture better would it?

Oh yeah..anything you can do in regards to pictures and instructions would be much appreciated. I now others will learn..as I read these and other posts and there are many lurkers like me who enjoy the informative discussion. MUCH APPRECIATED and YES ..first there was ..light..then now a PICTURE!!
