| My Curtis Mathes console set failed recently with no sound, no picture.
| Would like to get it repaired, would pay $200 for the repair, not sure it
| can be done for that. It is a nice console set which I bought new in 1985
| (sentimental value).
| Can you advise?
|
| Here is the data:
|
| Curtis Mathes console - manufactured May 1985.
| Model No. K2650RC
| Chassis No. C87-3
| Serial No. 05407371
|
| Symptoms:
|
| 1. No picture, no sound; both failed at same instant.
| 2. There is a separate (not on-screen) clock/channel number display;
this
| display is lit and can be set with usual controls. Obviously the set is
| getting power.
| 3. Power off/on still has the normal audible 'click' at back of set.
| 4. Set has video/audio in jacks at back: also no picture & no sound
with
| external DVD in (set has video/TV switch on front panel).
| 5. Remote still works (to change channel number).
|
| Other info:
|
| 1. I removed back cover and see two fuses; both look ok (i.e., fuse
| element looks straight and normal).
| 2. Fuse i.d.'s on circuit board:
|
| - F01 125 V 1.25 amp
| - F601 125 V 4 amp
