Magnavox VCR revisited - strange tuner problem
Peabody wrote:
A while back the power supply blew on my Magnavox VR1841 VCR, and thanks to a lot of help here I was able to get the parts and fix it. All the bad parts were on the primary side of the transformer, and after the repair everything appeared to work fine. It still does, with one exception. I guess I didn't check operation on higher channels after the repair, and it turns out that the unit just won't receive much of anything above channel 17. The lower channels work fine, but above channel 11 or so, they take longer to "lock in", and by 18 or 19 I just get the blue screen. If I set it to channel 41 and start it recording, it just records snow - no hint of a signal. So it looks like when the power supply went, it took something with it related to the tuner, even though it seems kind of odd that it works on the lower channels but not the upper ones. Is this at all likely to be fixable? Any suggestions for where to look, and what to look for? Thanks Saw that your tuner problem was the TV / CATV option. Glad you got that one going. Mark Z. |
