Help - my mint 1977 Magnavox Console

[bgadow]

Welcome to VK! This set WILL work right again...with some patience, folks here will get you walked through it. Sounds like you have enough experience in electronics to follow good directions. I'm mostly going to let others help out with this, but I would start by concentrating on the video board (assuming it uses a seperate one). Were it me, I'd start by just rocking that board back and forth in its socket to make sure the contacts are good. Then I'd probably replace the electolytics in that circuit. Just my thoughts.
