Schneider TV
Hi,
Just acquired a (mid 50s) Schneider TV which from the photo looks to be in good condition. Will be picking it up on Sunday so will get a good look then. A real bargain at 11€ or £8.49! A bit of a trek as it is north of Limoges but it does mean that my wife can finally get to visit the porcelain museum on the way back. I have noticed that it is rare to see French TV sets on Ebay.fr, there are a fair few radios (ancienne radio) but not many old TVs (ancienne televisieur/tele). Having looked at the radio museum site it looks as though it will be an 819 line set which means that I won't (when it is fixed) be able to get a proper picture as my Aurora is for 405 lines only. I don't fancy buying another Aurora just so I can get a proper picture on this one and only non 405 line set. But it will be fun to poke around in something new and hopefully get it going. Andy |

Re: Schneider TV
With a strong signal, such as from the Aurora, it might well lock onto every second line pulse.

Re: Schneider TV
Two pictures side by side. Aurora makes a dedicated 625 to 819 lines converter. On screen results are impressive.

Re: Schneider TV
Hi,
I don't know when I will be able to get around to looking at the set repair wise as I currently have no workshop - has yet to be built. I guess all the usual suspects will need replacing caps and any out of spec resistors etc. I do have access to enough stuff to have a go so might see if I can make a bit of space somewhere. Need to get a schematic diagram. Once I have the model number I can get looking. Andy |

An 819-set will scan two lines between line pulses, with the right-hand half of the picture imposed over the left. (A bit like my mum's 8mm holiday films) Or am I wrong again? |
