Default Re: Ferguson Videostar and Fisher Studio Standard collector

That's both machines working. The video board on the 3v36 has a bad cap/s which was making it display in and white. Swapped out the board from the 35 and it's working great now. The 35 had been canibalised a bit, motor for the tape mech was missing, no belts and the playback idler pulley was knackered. Thankfully I have a lot of spares so got the machine put back together and after a service is playing great in black and white. I have a donor machine in storage with siezed head drum, so will swap the board tomorrow.

Happy with my evenings tinkering.
