I fixed it, I fixed it!
I've had a bad TBC-1000 for a while now. As of tonight, it's working. Not just working, but extremely nicely (clean image, good image values). I've outdone myself. Tests were run with unit dismantled. Rebuild should only take a couple of weeks.
FYI, DataVideo gear often shared various parts. All of the gear is somewhat rare now, or pricey, or both. So this isn't a easy task. I'd finally managed to track down everything needed, and was able to test it. Some of the parts are new, not used.
Now I need some miniature champagne bottles, a shot worth, for nights like tonight.
I've listed it already, it's the rebuilt unit in the 1st post.
It feels good to revive the units. Yet another good TBC will be put back into circulation. The new owner simply needs to take of it! All of this stuff would have surely been destined for the recycle bin, had I not intervened.
