While the "paint dries" on my 621TS I thought I'd restore this TV. It'll be a nice change of pace.
Over all it is in nice shape. The chassis is dirty put "clean". No rust. The yoke cover is deteriorated along with the plastic holder for the focus rings. Everything else looks very good.
I replaced the sand resistor with a 50 ohm 50 watt chassis mount resistor for now. I powered it up using my Variac and Iso transformer. No go. I did a little troubleshooting and found that the fusistor was open. I inserted a 5 ohm 15W resistor and powered it up again. I got a raster and a picture. The picture was unstable. I also got some hash noise but no audio.
I'll put together an order and get started with the recapping etc.
Any words of wisdom and helpful hints would be appreciated.
