Hi all

For the last few years this set has been sat in a corner in my siste'rs old bedroom at my Mums.

Today I powered it up: the fault with it is there is very weak sound and no picture but if you slightly off tune it there is a faint picture and the sound is gone.

I've never seen any fault reports in Television Magazine - I have all issues from 1966 to 2005, but I do remember seeing a picture of the JVC 7440 with the back removed on the front cover of a 197? TV mag, but with no mention of the TV inside.

Do any members here have any service info, or may have repaired these sets and know this fault?
If so I would be very glad to hear from them

The TV is dated the 17th week 1973 inside. With it being from the colour boom of 1973 and the first(?) JVC colour set for the UK I would love to see it working in tip-top condition again.

Regards

Marcus.....
