1950 Emerson TV resurrection attempt
#37

So far, this little TV is holding it's own. I tried using an older ('90s) VCR and it worked great. I can plug in a DVD and use it for a modulator and works very good. Very little buzz in the sound, nice clean pic. The Blonder Tongue modulator does fine, So, it seems a stand alone modulator or set-top box either is slightly off frequency, over powers the AGC, or something. Still fighting a light hum bar, so I'm going to double check my power supply and filteration and lead dress. I also noted some retrace lines on a dark or blank scene, but this could be the nature of this set. Most notable when the contrast is turned down. Richard, get a TV on your bench and go after it! It wont fix itself!
