Paul, Do you have any vertical symptoms, like lack of height or vert. retrace lines at top of picture. I had a # ALEDC 200 once that had no video, color only, looked negative, but when you turned the color up higher you could see a black margin(approx. 2") at top of screen and also a few retrace lines. Replacing Vert. Output, IC 451(LA 7836) solved everything. Don't ask why it affected the video, but it did. Just a thought!
