If you take your scope and place one probe on your test point on the video head amp and trigger it with vertical, you will not see video at all, but rf. You will see 2 envelopes next to each other on the scope screen. Adjust the tape path so they are both about the same amplitude and as even as possible. This should be done after an upper cylinder is replaced. Only takes a couple of minutes if you practice it for a while. It makes for a good repair and will make you a better tech. *S* --- Jeff Dougherty <jeff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > If I could get it to act up long enough, I would > check that. > The only time my video was poor, was when the > customer was here.
