Yeah that's kinda what I was thinking as I've been staring at the back of this unit. Unplug the motors, clean the pots and contacts, and not really mess with everything else unless I have to. I don't want to disturb more than I really should.

That detector puts out a 3V p-p video signal, with sync negative as shown in the schematic. It would be easy to build a video input amplifier with a gain of 3. However, the DC level is also negative, with whites at about -0.3 volts and sync tips at -3.3 volts. To duplicate this, you would need to add a negative supply, which the chassis most likely doesn't have, to reference DC restoration of the sync tips to minus 3.3 volts. Not impossible, but a bit of a bother.
