Well some progress made today, I've got it sending out some bars. Concentrated on the line/frame and video stage of the device and it seems to have helped.
The video stage has a couple of GEX34 diodes, I tested these in situ with the DMM the passed but I think I shall replace these next and I shall start to replace the caps in the freq oscillator and modulator stages.
This certainly is a test of your dexterity with a soldering iron, trying to avoid burnt fingers and melted wire sleeves. I have in a few places had to cut the old components leaving a tail then making a coil on the new component to sleeve the old tail,times like this Cols' mini wire tool would have been useful.
Onwards...hopefully more results tomorrow
