I think from previous tests, that when we checked this issue, the R, G & B color color carriers were being gated out of IC 17 pins 12.6 & 8. Extra carrier level comes out of IC16 pins 12,6 & 8 when thee intensity line is high, to boost the level. But we saw no color carriers on the output video signal, only the burst was there.
All of the signals (Color carriers, Color Burst, RG&B luminance & intensity) are resistively mixed at the input to the three transistor output amplifier. This input, behaves exactly like negative input of an OP amp, when there is negative feedback around the OP amp, in that it acts as a Virtual Earth, so that the mixing signals do not interfere with each other, this is because of the negative feedback around the amplifier.
This means though, in terms of voltage levels at the input (at the base of the input 2N3904 on the left) very little if any dynamic voltages will be seen with the scope, because the current from the negative feedback via the 1.5k resistor cancels them to zero.
Since the burst was there at the video output, and we saw color carriers on the output of IC 17 (that needs re-checking) I was wondering if somehow the resistors for the color mix had not made the link from the IC 17 & 16's outputs to the virtual earth input point at the amplifier input, but I think
@nullvalue had already checked the connections.,
Other things that can make the signal go into monochrome, when the burst( and color carriers are off frequency) or the burst too low, the particular VDU can deploy its color killer and go into monochrome mode this way, but I don't think that is too likely because we could not see any color carriers on the video signal on previous scope tests which was suspicious for a problem and the frequency had been checked and the burst level looked reasonable.
