I will wait for a warm day, take it outside, see how things go, maybe try the hot wire trick. Not going to do the heat lamps thats forsure.
I am in the middle postion on the bias. it takes about 2 min to come up to full brightness from stone cold.
and yes it tested very weak, but comes up to just in the green if you leave it be for a couple minutes.
was just playing around with it some, I think the RCA roundies make some of the best yellows even by todays standards (forget you quattro).
UHF checks out, was alble to pick up the LP local station with just a small loop antenna.
One of these days I would like to try DXing for OTA broadcasting in Analog.
