List of fault symptoms:
  • Dented vertical lines.
  • After bridging E-C of TL17 (BC548B) protective circuit does not start up any more. If DL18 (ZPD36) is desoldered, protective circuit sets in.
  • Part number info: RC
  • Service information: Function of E/W stage.
  • Appliance has no HF reception. Snowy picture. (+ extract of circuit diagram)
  • Slight jitter in vertical synchronisation.
  • No stereo reception on channel 60.
  • Rotating vertical lines on the whole picture. If adjusted with pot PF02, picture looks correctly in lower third.
  • Vertical lines are slightly dented on top. V-location-control (PF02) does not change it. (service info for SABA -FF426)
  • Channel mistunes after 2 days.
  • Bright horizontal line on bottom in picture.
  • No picture after it was switched over to videotext.
  • Dotted lines at colour transitions.
  • No start up. No drive pulse for PSU Pin 7 IC14 (TEA2029).
  • E/W-error, picture amplitude can not be controlled.
  • Intermittently colour fails. (FF426 tip from SABA)
  • Picture dark and screen blank, no display, only standby-dot (lines are running).
  • Vertikal deflection does not function.
  • Part number info: power supply repair
  • No HF reception. Picture is noisy. (+ extract of circuit diagram) (SABA - FF426 information)
