Picked this set up over the weekend, your typical 12" late 40s single chassis Admiral, and since I had to pull the chassis to get it into the basement safely, figured I might as well recap it.
Got it all recapped, and had sound, reception, focus, and raster, but no vertical deflection. Dead primary winding in the VOT. Just happened to have a spare VOT here, a brand new Stancor, so I put it in. The primary resistance was off slightly (1.1k vs spec of 730 ohm IIRC), but secondary was dead on.
Installed it, and I now have vertical deflection, BUT no audio, no signal....just retrace lines. Focus changes nothing on the screen, and the brightness does absolutely nothing....the screen is always at one set brightness.
I'm stumped. I can't find any wires I might have crossed, anything. Ideas?
