While you're at it change the HV rect filament winding...That much chew is likely to arc through. Better to do that now while it is easy to get at.

I then redid the 2 terminal strips on the top of the chassis. One included the .25A fuse.
I then turned my attention to the Flyback and 1B3GT connector. I replaced the 3 220K 2W resistors with 3 220K 3W resistors. After looking over the Flyback a little closer, it looks like the mice tried to make a meal out of it! They also nibbled on the filament wiring to the 1B3GT connector.
I'm re-coating the Flyback windings with some Super Corona dope as I type. A few more coats and it will be ready to put back into the chassis. |
