Philips 'Town & Country 34' TV question

[John Mackesy]

I recently had one of these laid on me - it was on its way to the hard waste
collection. Quick/easy fix. It's a 34 cm portable colour TV set, quite light
and easy to carry. One question though - the thing is tuned via a set of
preset pushbuttons. Is there any way of adjusting the UHF channel tuning?
Currently set to Ch. 28 (I think) would like to set to Ch. 34.

Thanks,

John Mackesy

Geez, John, it must be in bad shape (or your eyes are) if you didn't
notice the hinged door below the pushbuttons. Finger-nail groove at
the right end to drop it forward/down to access the band-switching and
tuning.

Thanks chaps. I guess I was kind of fixated on its posterior aspect. The
problem was EHT tracking from the ultor. Real no-brainer. I think its
residence in a beach house might have been a factor.

I must admit to certain visual limitations, plus I tend to avoid TV in all
its forms...

Thanks again,

John
