So I think I may have buggered something up.
The video on this set was working, but the VCR did not work (it would attempt to read the tape, then eject it). I was thinking I could clean the mode switch on the VCR board and reassemble—I was able to do that and get it reassembled, but now cannot get anything to display (and additionally the VCR is not loading tapes properly, so I suspect I didn't get the mode switch oriented correctly when I reassembled it, but I will revisit that later).
I can see the filament glow when I power the set on, and audio seems to be working fine, but it now shuts off after about 5 seconds. I read that these models are essentially a TV added to a VCR, and so they will auto-shutoff if there is a problem detected with the VCR, so I guess that may explain that part. If I press the Channel Up or Channel Down button when it powers on, I get a green flash on the screen.
Any guidance here would be very much appreciated. Thank you!
