Ok back in action, fuses replaced, all systems are go. popped in a tape and.. BAM. First time anyone has seen this in probably 30 years! holy shit

Okay almost there, but might be scope time. The picture is very rainbow-y and fuzzy, audio comes in out and and sounds faint. COULD be the tape, could be the adjustments on the boards.

I have the following NON-scope adjustments:
>color lock pot
>peaking pot
>skew and tracking front knobs
adjusting them helps at random but the picture isnt there yet.


Still to do:
>FFD does not trip the auto-stop (good) however the motor/belts do not seem strong enough to move the tape
>RWD trips the auto-stop (bad) meaning something is still wrong in the circuit. could be expecting a tape to move one of the capstans (only tested rwd with no tape)

pic related is what a color image looks like and a black and white (there's a swtich to select on the front). really hope its not a scope tune-up..
