RF signal only black&white
« on: 2020.September.15. 16:43:43 »
While I get a good quality color picture on scart, I am unable to see color with my rf modulator. I already replaced LM1886, LM1889, TR6, C38,C39,C36 without any success. What else could be wrong?

Just curious but did you replace anything to get RGB/scart or was that going for the start? :)

Scart worked right away.

Success!
This was a hard one. I replaced the LM1889, the LM1886, all electrolytic capacitors, the 78L12, most of the transistors and a couple of ceramic capacitors in the LM1889's oscillator circuitry. In the end, changing the 4.433619MHz oscillator solved the color issue. :)

Good do know it! It is used for the PAL colour subcarrier.
