Thanks to @tvjon74, all 131 pages of the full English version of the Philips N1500 service manual which includes all the supplements, schematics, plan views, modifications and service updates was scan...

I quite liked the chain driven roller cassette housing on this and the 3V31/2 machines, they were pretty bomb proof unlike the flimsy affairs of some later machines, they didn't like my dummy cassette...

Hi Jon, Snap! I've also recently picked up one of these (Thanks Luke ?), I think it's from the same source and university as Chris's N1500. Not the JVC model but one of it's clones, model 8924 which i...

Luckily it has the later type channel selectors fitted, the original touch type were very poor. Good luck with it. ?

Some more info on the 9000 chassis.

Thanks Jon, Service data for the Beovision 3538 - 3300 chassis turned up in the post today. ? Might see if I can get a look at what's going on with my Beo-Shrek later but I really do need to get ba...

Posted by: TVJON74 Here is my Ferguson 3848 which I think is the 1690 chassis. ? thanks Jon, its now added to the Thorn article. I've also added a few extra chassis place holders which need filling.

Finally after countless years searching, I have managed to obtain a very rare original course-book from the 1971/72/73 for the City & Guilds Radio, Television and Electronics Servicing course. Onc...

With the chassis partially removed from the cabinet (front control knobs and side tuner knobs have to be removed of course), removing the screws at each side allows the top to be swung up giving good ...
