Hi,
I found not long ago, at the scrap yards, a JVC CX-500ME
I opened it up before pluging in, not knowing what the condition was, if it had been wet. Looked alright so I plugged it in, the switches and potentiometers were a bit crusty, it took a bit of playing with them to get it working smooth.
The radio part of it works perfect, I got no sound coming from the cassette deck but that shouldn't be too hard to fix.
The string running around the knob, dial and potentiometer for the tuning of the tv needed fixing, done.
I thought, sweet, a little monitor for my Commodore 64 as I am away from home all the time, a week/10 days at a time.
Problem is I can't get an image on the screen, it looks like it is trying to tune but I can't get anything decent. The Commodore works well on the big tv at home, so that's not the issue.
Any lead on a good resources on how to troubleshoot analog crt tv's? Or an idea of what could be wrong? I only know the basics of how it works but obviously not enough.
I'll try to add photos, in case it could help.
Thanks
