I finally succeeded in getting a raster out of this set...turned out to be a leaky capacitor connecting the "boost" voltage to the 220 v B+ voltage. But it takes the B&K to drive it, my horizontal oscillator circuit isn't oscillating. The troubleshooting continues.<P>------------------<BR>

Terrific Rene,<BR> Chip, chip. chip away and when you run out of faults you'll have a good working set.<BR>Now, if only you could chip away at the quality of the programs <IMG SRC="http://www.antiqueradios.com/forums/wink.gif"><BR> Don Black.<P>------------------<BR>

Hi Phil,<P>I'll email you separately on the trials and tribulations of this set. It is stubborn, digging in all the way but I am slowly beating it. I now have raster and and get a decent test pattern on the screen using my 1077B. I will not work on anything else until this is fixed!<P>Rene<P>------------------<BR>

Hello-I have a blk & gold version of this set that I would very much like to get restored.I know just enough about electronics to be VERY dangerous.Can anyone out there help?-Sandy G.<P>------------------<BR>

I am quite familiar with this set now, so I can help. There are some tv gurus in this forum that can help too. You might want to start a new thread for your tv.<P>Rene<P>------------------<BR>

After recapping, still no HIGH VOLTAGE??? Can anyone advise?
Is it the 430v boost voltage area?
I'm sure there are only 3-4 problems to check.
1 - I checked the fly - has continuity
2 -The 1v2 tubes seem weak, tho. Measures 35-45 0n B&K
3. sockets seems clean
4 -neon bulb lights up around 6BQ6 and pic tube area - but MAY not be high enough.
have not checked the boost volt. yet.
Any advice on HIGH VOLTAGE??
