Thanks, will do when I've got the set open again. It doesn't seem to be AC coupled. Do you mean the supply cap to the vert. amplifier? This set uses an electronic H. STAT convergence control (according to the diagram, a 110M pot between a RCV pin on the neck, and GND. There are various other magnetic gubbins: "VM" control, which controls some sort of electromagnetic coil around the neck, powered off B+ and a 9V rail, a rotation amplifier and coil (+15 from the flyback transformer, regulated down to 9V). I've got hold of a schematic: http://www2.eng.cam.ac.uk/~pcjc2/sony_be3d.pdf I found myself wondering.. could you make a schematic / layout like this with gEDA? -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!) _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
