DESCRIPTION
Cosmos Laundromat is full of soft colour, which suits a small tube. We played it on our 14-inch portable after its recent tune-up.
The small screen hides the compression and flatters the painterly lighting.
What to watch for
- Soft gradients in the laundromat scenes.
- Purity on the white sheep.
- How the tube handles the dark opening.

Did you check the ripple on the 5V rail before and after? Curious how much it moved.
Honestly the composite version has a charm the RGB one lacks. Fight me.
Which flux did you end up using? The no-clean stuff left a haze on my last job.
Would love a follow-up in six months to see how the recap holds up.
Posting this to our club channel, a few of us have been stuck on the same fault.
We had one of these in the school library. Nobody was allowed to touch it.
That colour bar test pattern is a nice touch. Makes the comparison easy to read.
Came for the repair, stayed for the tangent about the manual layout.
