This has been on the to-do pile for years. The CRT is only just acceptable unfortunately. Rejuvenating it bought the brightness up but it's still marginal. (Edit: I tried rejuvenating it again, which bought it back to the 'good' level on the meter). It's not the original CRT either. I'm going to try replacing the video amplifier tube as well. There are no transistors in this set.
The tuner mechanism still needs work. The system is push activated, which switches on a motor to change channels. The whole mechanism is locked up with old grease, but given there's no analog television anymore it's not a huge issue. I just tune my RF modulator to the station it's stuck on. There's a remote control too, on a long cord. A button on top changes the channel and a slide switch on the side mutes the audio.
Apologies for not uploading a video in months! I have been working on projects, but work is getting in the way.
