verni QUASAR restoration
« on: September 21, 2014, 04:13:55 AM »
So, I started with my QUASAR restoration.
I already posted some pics but I'd like to have a complete report here so I'm sorry if you have seen some of them. THese are the initial conditions.
- no t-molding on right side
- glass broken
- some scratches
the rest seems to be complete...

inside I found all documents: schematics and user manual. I think schematics are already on the web but I'm not sure about the user manual. I had no time to scan it but I'll do that in the next days.

Nice! The US Billiards manual has been scanned that contains schematics but if you have the original manual with original schematics they're worth scanning in HQ (no manual packets I've found in Europe so far had the schematics included).

If the Philips KT-3 monitor doesn't work that'll be the biggest challenge to get going. However, I have a complete manual for the TV flavor of the chassis that is mostly identical to the monitor form (55Mb):

Good luck!

Paul.

modifications....

this is the first thing I do. I change the default switch with a new one.

In those years SPST switch were used. I change it with a DPDT even if a DPST could be enough.
Here the schematics of both types and a picture (on the left the old one, on the right the new one)

This modification improve a lot your safety working into the cabinet so I suggest to do that.

PS:
SPST = Single Pole, Single Terminal
DPDT = Double Pole, Double Terminal
