    Thanks for the detailed presentation of the operation of the Sencore VA62 Video Analyzer.
    I was a 'Factory Field Engineer' at Sencore in the 1970s, who wrote several instruction manuals, with help from many others among the 'technical applications' team at the time.
    I worked directly with Herb Bowden, founder and CEO of Sencore (originally, "Service Instruments Corporation" of Chicago) to produce testing equipment for the radio-TV-video servicing industry.
    Herb's essential focus was on making things easier for repair techs with a "systems approach", in which a tech might check out every section of a radio, a TV, a VCR, or a cable system, from front to back, with just a "twist of a knob".
    While I left the company to pursue other opportunities in broadcasting and vocational-technical education, I am proud to have participated with preparing documents for some prior Sencore products, including the CB42 CB-Analyzer and the VA48 TV-Video Analyzer.
    I appreciate your description of the VA62, including its weight, or as my Dad once said, "You need to buy it by the pound".

      Before the 1980s, the Sencore stuff was considered junk by servicers. Sometime about 1980 I recall, things changed. The instruments became high quality and far more advanced. I bought a brand new LC-75 that I still use almost every day.
      Too bad there wasn't more documentation available for legacy Sencore products, but they clearly burned those bridges after the company transitioned.

    Looks great. My experience with Sencore equipment has always been positive. Back in the 80's I worked for a TV CB repair shop and they had a lot of Sencore test equip. and it seemed very well thought out and well built. A factory rep would come around to a local large town and put on a 3 or 4 hour training session for certain equipment they sold, once a year or so I think. Probably mostly to promote the new stuff they had but I learned a lot about their stuff back then.

    The VIR ADDER would put a pulse and some info into the Vertical Interval for controlling the automatic color circuits on mostly GE TV's.

    I had about $10,000 worth of Sencore stuff when I worked in a tv repair shop. I found it really easy to operate, I would take out the manual every so often and practice with it.
    It's easy to learn how to use it, I enjoy fixing old sets but no longer have the space to store them.

    Hi Bob
    Sencore is great equipment. I've owned several . Wish I had my SC61 Scope back. I now have a B&K 450 TV Analyst I got pretty cheap. Works good too. You certainly can't go wrong with Sencore. Nice video as usual.
    Regards

    could the upper 3.5 - 4.5 bandwidth of the picture on a B&W set be visible if the video was outputted through YPbPr and just connecting the green (Y luma) to a composite-RF converter? Or is that bandwidth gone before it reaches my SetTop box?

    I know you do restorations on vintage B/W sets, but have you done any color sets? I would love to see one restored in the way you do. Your videos are full of details that I haven't seen on other channels. Otherwise, awesome video, Bob.
