Craftsman RC200 resto
#15

Finally got back into this set. I recapped and replaced some out of tollerace resistors in the sync separator, powered up and had no video at all! Did some checks and found 0 plate volts on the video output tube and a very hot plate load resistor. Found a short to ground - seems one of the peaking coils got against a ground pin on the terminal strip and shorted! Moved that away and got my video back. Nothing from the tuner still, get something from injection. Sync issues still a problem. Gonna have to dig deeper. Kinda starting to suspect it may be something to do with DC restoration on the video. Sync takeoff is between 1st video amp and output. May have to get my scope working and look at things.

If I could find the place called "Somewhere", I could find "Anything" Icon_confused
