Admiral model 24R12, Diagram
See the Yanks win the Y2K pennant, and then play the Mets
in the Subway Series, on the Admiral set
Careful when you remove the chassis that
you don't drop it and bust off the CRT's neck!

moonwalk on (Apollo 11).

Back in the days when the NTSC
color TV system was being developed, a test color transmission of some fruit
was done. Some practical joker took the bananas and painted them blue. In the
NTSC color system, the color (more precisely chroma) is encoded onto a subcarrier,
the phase indicating which color. Yellow 180o out of phase yields blue.
The guy at the receiving test site would adjust the phase (commonly called "tint")
to get the bananas right, but then the rest of the fruit would be wrong!
This is not its remote, but it went with
this below RCA set, a CTC101 comb filter

This DVD player has a hidden menu.
To access:
Eject the tray, then press the numbers 8, 4, 2, then 1
on the remote. Dashes should appear on the screen for
the first 3 numbers, then the hidden menu should then appear
upon pressing the last number. Use the ^ and v keys on the
remote to select "region" or "macrovision". Use "enter"
to step thru which region you want (9 is "all" or "bypass") and if you want macrovision
or not. Macrovision may make some vintage TVs or VCR channel modulators unhappy.
To save the settings, close the disc tray. You can now use the "Y" video output
to feed a B&W TV set via a VCR, as it will not have the color subcarrier and
macrovision on it.
HDTV antennas? :-)
