Notes

The default sharpness level causes noticeable ringing; to mitigate the ringing, the sharpness level can be reduced down to ~15 in the user menu. A remote is required to switch video inputs. Holding 'Volume -' on the set and 6 on the remote will display the total number of hours in operation in hexadecimal. Holding 'Volume -' on the set and 9 on the remote will access the service menu. This set does not have scan velocity modulation.

Repair Notes

Set pictured had slight vertical foldover when turned on before warming up due to pump-up capacitor C407 having gone open (100uf 35V). The capacitors are not labelled on the bottom of the PCB, so an image is included designating its location. There was also some downward bowing at the top of the screen, which required tilting the front of the yoke downward slightly. Pulling the PCB out requires lifting a plastic latch under the bottom of the picture tube.
