VA48 Sencore schematic
I have one of these old timers and the bar sweep and color sweep section isn't working. Strangely, there are color bars over the dot and cross hatch patterns which I don't recall being a normal situation. All the switches are clean and tight.
Anyway, I have the full owner's manual that includes maintenance and calibration instructions, but no actual schematic. Does anyone have a schematic of the 500 generator board and parts layout for the same board? This is the only board where the component legends are not silk screened on the board, and there are at least 12 ICs - all 16 pins each, most of them the same number. |

I do have a PDF of the VA48 Speed Test Set-Up Booklet and would be happy to trade that for schematics...(or simply upon being asked nicely) On the other hand I see these selling on eBay for under $100 including shipping - vs the VA62 which is the updated version for not much more and I'm not sure I want to spend the time on it...especially as I already have the Sencore 1225 which is the most advanced of their monitor analyzers...

VA48 Sencore schematic
Yeah, that was me...
BTW, if anyone needs any service for the VA62, *that* I have. Everything. I technically own two VA48s now. Yep. I asked my buddy if he still had his manual and he said just take his VA48. I don't need two and I'd rather repair the one I have now. Worse case I'll take the second one and compare waveforms between them, assuming his working fine.. |

I have a few pages someone scanned, but the generator board is chopped up. Some of it is usable for some of the interconnections are not. I'll email over what I have. |

I did some searching and didn't come up with any leads other than one post saying he got the schematic from Sencore 10 years ago for $20, but was sure what it would cost you today. Mikek |
