Hey Silver Fox,
I traced the same issue with a heavy sixer I salvaged...I thought at first it was the RF modulator, but then noticed the power wasn't even right going to it. I then seen the defective L101 after I bumped it....The console would kick on with a little pressure to it from the side. No cold solder joints...I am going to order Delevan API 1025-48 Fixed axial inductor 15uh for replacement...
What did you find to replace it with ???
Here is a doc that I found on this forum that shows what other parts you can use...
Thanks for sharing !!
