The "ugly fixes" reminds me of the many old TV repair / fixit shops that were in store fronts in my old neighborhood (60s). Many WWII vets that worked as sparkys ended up as TV repairmen. They were the same kind of guys that poked around inside CB radios. At least with such an overhaul, you can be more confident about using the TV set. Many repairmen did not know much about electronics theory, but they could do R&R with the same parts.

You know you're a TV junkie when you're disappointed your set works on first powerup... :P

@vintagepc64 LOL - Yeah, after all the hacks I found in the set I figured it would take a little more work. I suspect the upcoming Predicta project won't be quite so easy.

I think I have some Admiral tube sheilds in my collection. Want some?

Those lines look like the retrace lines that your Motorola sets show.

@danrulz98 Yes, those are indeed retrace lines. Someone kindly posted some great service tips for Admiral TVs on Videokarma including a circuit modification to eliminate those lines. I tried it out a few hours ago and it works great :)
