Ge 810

I had 3 of those 810's in the past 10 yrs, someplace on here is a posting I placed about my first 810 and restoration about 7 yrs ago..
that lower brass part will clean up well and shine like new, I took mine into a metal shop here in madison and they charged 20 buck to polish it and spray a clear coat over so that the brass would not stain again..
and ALL of my 810's had no HV cover.
also all that weird missmatched resistors and caps were the same on 2 of mine..I had found out that GE had a bigtime problem with the HV transformers on this chassis.
The factory mod and fix was to replace the HV Transformer with the round donut type just like you have there, then a whole bunch of resistors and Capacitors had to be changed..I could never get the Horz size and linearity to operate correctly no matter what I did, so I lived with it..
I had rebuilt the filter caps just like you did, but they really overheat and the best way is a fresh stock Cans.
