Re: Skip find Ultra
Lucky find and it's hardly a basket case! Appears to have been stored in dry conditions.
I think this will be an easy one. The tube has been replaced with a regun so let us hope it is a good one.
All the capacitors and probably some of the resistors in the frame timebase will require replacement. They are in a diabolical position, some mounted upside down but this chassis is capable of giving a good linear picture. The lin sleeve needs a bit of pushing and shoving to get the line linear.
For some reason these models were always filthy! I had to scrub layers of indescribable muck off this example, the 'portable' version VP17-72 but it turned out OK in the end.
FM radio models could not use the Fireball tuner. The little Ultra tuner was more commonly seen in the FM series with the sub panel mounted on the chassis bottom. The lugs can be seen that retained the P/C board on the bottom rail.
Good luck with it. The LOPT is a high grade component and should be fine.
