Proscan PS32108 CTC187CM Problem was that after fixing tuner grounds picture was still snowy. further testing showed that UHF was good and VHF was almost nonexistant Signal could be injected at the outboard side of L7109 to give passable picture on strong local stations. what seemed like the Input FET preamp for the VHF (Q7102) turned out to be a missing or bad ( parts locations are difficut) 1 meg resistor from the AGC to Q7102 as adding one fixed the fault. [ under magnifaction there appeared to be a missing surface mount componet, a cap would help until it charged and placing your finger over the spot would get it to work] Peter Oliver Tucson Radio TV (I not sure how to write this one up as a tip) _________________________________________________________________ Get holiday tips for festive fun. http://special.msn.com/network/happyholidays.armx ***************************************************************************** Lost Password: http://www.tech-assist.org and select "Login Problems?".
