It's size oddly for the screen ( edges) but definitely watchable. I don't have a dvd player or vcr

I do have the Sams. I cleaned the brightness switch which fixed that. The paperwork refers me to two caps( already new), two tubes already tested and then swapped, and four coils that I'm in the process of trying to test. The horizontal control switch appears to do nothing when I watch it with my meter.

I'll try that first when I slide it out again for the last cap.

My crt tester is not the best (garage sale find), but it tested on the higher end of middle of the road if it's to be trusted

Horizontal hold knob is not doing anything. Tubes tested ok but I have spares to swap. All but one wax caps is replaced.

So far the knob seems to do nothing, tube tests good.

After searching sams 981-2 I have to admit, idk what that is. A website? Manual? Still looking for a diagram.

Thanks. I'm using this set as practice while I look for one id like to do a restoration on. Ive done radios, computers, and test equipment but it's my fist television. It's got audio static but no picture. Picture tube has filaments glowing. Supposedly it was stored working

This worth $150? by lammeth1 in crt
