Just got an old Mitsu RP (1981 vintage) for free and looking good...except...the horizontal is out and I cannot find a customer control. Only one coil visible under a CRT. Anyone remember this beast or have some service notes you can check. Hate to dump it just for this.

Please explain, or post pictures. What does "the horizontal is out" mean?

Hammrdwn,

The horizontal problem is the old-fashioned horizontal hold diagonal lines. It is just out of range and no customer horizonal hold control is to be found. The PC boards just have surface-mount variable resistors that are unmarked. The coil I found is L505. My old-time tv days tells me that a coil is the item to look for. Home now and beast is at work. Photos later if needed. Thanks for looking.

And if you know where the CRT focus controls are that would help also. I think they are the three on top of the flyback.
