Default Help with Colour TV set identification??

Hello again!

I wonder if anybody can help me with a circuit, service manual or any other info for a colour TV set I have recently acquired.

It's branded "Quadri-Matic" on the front and has "Model 7825E" on a plate on the rear cover, also "Victor Company of Japan" is embossed into the plastic.

It is obviously made by JVC (Nivico) and featured in the "Which?" magazine TV test for 18"-22" sets in the early 70's where they featured the Philips G8, ITT CVC5 and others. From what I recall (can't place the magazine at the minute) they called it the "Pilot Quadri-Matic".

It has a rotary "click stop" tuner with 8 positions rather like the Hitachi sets of the time (eg CSP680). The CRT is roughly 19"-20" delta gun and seems to have "standard" high voltage focus but I can't (yet) find a label with a type number. Nicely made inside and with removeable panels. I think it also has some sort of light sensor for "auto contrast" as well as a tone control (luxury!)

The R&TVS books do list a few JVC sets but not this one...

If I can get the camera going I will try and post a picture...

Cheers

Robert
