| what size CRT alignment tool? Color Classic |
Posted by: mraroid on 2015-06-14 12:05:38
HI...
I have my Color Classic taken apart about as much as possible. I am getting my analog board back soon after having it re cap'ed. I see the alignment sockets for adjusting the CRT. Before I took my Color Classic apart, I found that my screen was shifted to the left. I saw some - mostly plastic alinement tools on Amazon. They reminded me of the tools I used to adjust my parents TV about 50 years ago.
Can someone tell me what the size is for adjusting the trim pots in the Color Classic? I can't tell by looking in the alignment hole if it takes a flat blade screwdriver type tip, or maybe a 6 sided tip.
Any advice appreciated.
Thanks
jack

Thank you for the help slomacuser. I just bought the kit from Amazon that Trag recommend. Anyone know if the tip I need for my Color Classic is a flat blade, or a small 6 sided tool?
Thanks

Just be careful. I ordered mine and received it, but it's not the set that was pictured. It's an all-plastic, all-red set. None of them were black or yellow, and none were metal.
I kept it anyway, I don't think I need those other pieces. Should work.

you don't want to use metal when it comes to CRT realignment

I hope my tools from Amazon fit. Someone here must know if it is a flat blade or a 6 sided tip that sticks into the color classic. I can not speak to the color classic, but in the 1960s, when I would line up the family B&W TV, all the line up tools were pastic.
