I usually bring up the contrast to the point of blooming and then back it off. I then keep backing it off until the level is right for the viewing environment. I then adjust brightness up until I get decent shading in the dark areas of the picture. Sometimes I have to go back and forth between the two controls to get it right. In no way am I driving it too hard with those controls and the G2 voltages are within range. Tomorrow will be my day for checking the cathodes, G1 and G2s.

Would it help if I were to video the scoping process tomorrow? I am going to scope all the cathodes, G1s and G2s and figured I'd record the process and then put it up on youtube. It'll be my first video upload.
I just thought that it might be more helpful for all involved if they got to see how I was doing it, how the scope was set and what the waveforms looked like.

Yes video would help IMHO.

Well the video didn't work out. It was too crazy trying to change the probe to different pins and change the scope settings all while trying to video. I would have spent longer editing the video than creating it. So I just went down the line and scoped the pins in order of color.
Below are the connections and the scope's volt/div setting. They all were with a time/div of 20us. Green Cathode .5V/Div G1 20V/Div G2 10V/Div Red G2 2V/Div Cathode .5V/Div G1 20V/Div Blue G2 2V/Div Cathode .2V/Div G1 20V/Div When you look at the green G2 waveform, compare it to the red and blue G2s. The Green waveform came out nice and clean. The Red and blue, however, is a multiple form again. I don't know why this is happening, but the red and blue from should look the same as the green. The attached pics will be in order of above (starting with Green Cathode). The first 6 will be in this post and the next 3 will be in the next post (seems only 6 can be attached per post). Hope this helps. If it's true there shouldn't be any AC on the G1s and G2s, what's the deal?

So nothing? No ideas? Nothing about those waveforms brings anything to mind?

Did you move the scope probe ground lead during taking this series?
[Edit: you should connect the ground lead of the probe you are using to the chassis, keep it attached at one particular point for all the measurements, and do not connect any other scope ground leads to the chassis.] The "fat" traces could be superimposed 60 Hz hum due to intermittent probe ground (can't tell from stills, but you could verify by slowing the scope sweep to vertical rate). In any case, there appears to be ripple on the green cathode and grid, less on red and blue. Why they should be so different doesn't make a huge amount of sense, unless it varies with the scope probe grounding, because the bars you have shown pictures of appear to be monochrome - so they should be in all three guns. Also, in the off-screen shots with a regular picture, the bars aren't visible. Are they visible to the eye at all with a regular picture, or only with a plain black scene? |

The bars are most noticeable when the screen is darker like in a transition between scenes. You can see them with color screens, but only if the colors are light/pale. I'm wondering if my 750V boost is working as designed. I haven't looked at it until today. So far all I did was check its voltage. It's 761VDC. I didn't check the AC as my DMM isn't a true RMS. I'll need to put it on the scope to see the AC. I figure I can start at the diode that steps it up and work my way to the G2 controls.

I was hoping someone could look over the schematics I posted earlier and tell me what happens when the setup switch is activated. To me, a beginner, it looks like it does something and collapses the vertical. That's my best guess based on what I get looking over the schematics. If that's what's happening, then the lack of setup line for all but a faint blue is puzzling. If it comes down to replacing the FB or yoke, I'll live with the bars. I don't want to get that involved. I think for the heck of it I'll look over all the caps and resistors in the 750V boost area. Could be a decoupling cap.

constant voltage. On this chassis it also adds a crude blanking pulse. If all the DC voltages are correct you should get very bright service lines. At that point its 99% the CRT. Sometimes the CRT can look & test good but be a little weak. Good news ! Since I was a bench man & only did about 25 of these sets I ran it by our old road man over a beer. He did a repair on one once & it had the exact same jailbars. Bad news is the set was very old & they didnt want to pay to pull the chassis. At least you know this wasnt self induced & a real failure, possably common. Just for kicks remove the wire from service switch that go to jcn of R295 & R297. See if they go away. 73 Zeno |

you thinking a leaky switch Zeno?

A long shot but yes. When in service instead of video they tie in
a pulse from the FBT. Zeniths had problems with the tiny remote/man SW & on/off buttons on this vintage getting leaky & causing random on/off. Rare but they can get leaky & its gonna be something strange if ever found. I wonder if anyone here is on the old Electronix pay site ? I bet the answers there.......... 73 Zeno |
