Craftsmen RC 200 resto
Hey all! I'm starting this thread midway in the restoration. This is my 1st TV restoration. Most of my experience has been with "repairs" back in the day and have restored quite a few radios. I have most of the recap done and am currently focusing on the sync separator section. I have powered it up between steps to check things, and at this time, my biggest concern/problem is very poor sync lock on both horizontal and vertical. I have some other issues on up the line, possibly in the tuner. I can inject a signal in the 6AU6 video amp and get a decent picture, but sync is terrible. So I am going through the sync and oscillator sections pretty carefully, replacing everything including micas. I have a weird and undocumented AGC, which I am tracing out trying to draw a schematic. This is some kind of mix between a RC 200 and 201.
