That's what I thought... expecting a full on resto! Of course now, after running it for over a week, a few of its weak points are beginning to show through. Color oscillator first began shifting frequency intermittently, a twist of the fine tuning control to and fro would sometimes bring it back into sync. That was just a touch up of the chroma oscillator slug, been fine ever since.

Problem two, blue background pot opened up, picture looked like it was going way too blue and then way too green. Piece of cake. Had no luck finding a 700k pot, so installed a 1.5meg one shunted with a 1 watt 1.5 meg resistor. Right on the money.

Problem three, horizontal sync is becoming unstable. Gotta dig into that one today. The Sams shows some lovely black beauties inside the HV cage so I just wonder if those were ever replaced. So hope to check into that today.

Oh wow, nice! We're now official Abington brothers. Is that the original 21CYP?

Drive was beautiful too, weather was perfect. I stayed off the main freeways most of the way and it was a windows-down sort of day.
