Zenith 25KC45 video in?

All -

I'm interested in adding a video input to my Chromacolor II. Since the tuner isn't of any use anymore (other than for the DTV converter), I'd like to be able to plug the converter directly into the set.

I've done this in the past on some tube sets, but that was a little easier - just going into the grid of the video amp through a large enough cap. I was fortunate that the sets I did this to had the proper video polarity and signal level that this worked.

I don't want to poke around blindly in this set if I can avoid it - would anyone with a schematic be able to point out a component junction or test point where I could shove in some video?

Thanks in advance!

-Jim

Check on eBay for the multi-channel modulators. There's several under the brand name "Channel Plus" that are 4-channel modulators. This will at least allow "exercising" the Space Command features

Sorry - no Space Command here. I'm more interested in seeing how much (if any) the picture improves when it's not modulated by the DTV converter, then demodulated by the set's tuner.

I have thought about the modulators though; when I get a chance to set up an area with the rest of my sets it would be nice to have sort of an "in-house" cable system to feed programming to them.

I would also be interested in doing this on my 25DC56 chassis... Sorry I can't comment on the engineering of it, but I will equally appreciate any input (no pun intended) from others!
