Yep, power supply is all reworked. Seleniums are just ther for show now. Every can in the set has been re-stuffed with bran new axial lead caps.

I have monitored voltages during the warm up, but I do not find any significant variation during the period that it takes the convergence to stabilize.

Steve Kissinger saw it and said the he dosent have this symptom on his recapped 55' . I could live with it but it is a symptom I don't like when I wish to turn the set on for a few minutes to demo it to someone. It would be nice for convergence to come up right away so the picture would be watchable in a reasonable amount of time.

I even re-hooked up the old seleniums just to see what would happen. I got a very substandard 372vdc when opperating at 120vac line. The set runs much better on the silicon diodes, so I am convinced that the old seleniums cause sub par performance.
