Default Re: Identify Ekco TV please

Ah, so its a T345. Many thanks for the info. There is indeed H, L ,T on the tuner knob- I guess that would be Home, Light & Third?
It looks like the broken pin on the CRT is pin 4, focus. Unfortunately, its broken off about 1mm below the surface so no chance of soldering anything on. Will have to see what the focus is like when I've got the rest of it working- might have to poke something down the hole...
I wrestled with the cabinet on the Feranti for a while until I eventually managed to get the thing to bits only to be confronted with a chassis mounted hard against the tube so you can't get to any components With a bit of thought, they could have made the chassis hinge away from the tube for servicing. Engineers must have cursed it at the time!
I'll be ready for this one though
I might rebuild the two sets in parallel: I can then compare results. I should be expert at making LOPT shrouds by the end of it!
Cheers Nick
