Notes -
1) The markings on C1 and C6 have been removed, will pull and measure later this week.
2) The markings on Q1 and Q2 have been covered with epoxy, will pull and measure Hfe later this week.
3) C2 is a variable capacitor, will verify value later this week.
The television will not be revolutionized.
