Yeah the cabinet is in nice shape. ide like to find a pic of this model with the knobs on it so i can find some replacements.. The tuner alone has 3 knobs and it will be a miracle to find a set of these lying around somewhere.. Anyone with a set or an ad for this model is encouraged to respond. I need closeups of the top AM knob and the triple knob setup on the tuner before i can begin a search... Please all chime in :D

On the upside, i used the flourescent light trick to confirm HV is present at the 1B3 still no light on the screen and a hum in the audio so it will need a capjob right out of the gate..

More later :)

I guess theres a prob with the 14wp4:

Allthough it tests high on the tester, it wont light on the tv where as the soso 14rp4 i have lights and i kinda get a pic. Since the 14wp4 has a loose back, im presuming there is a fine wire busted.. Anyone have a RP4 lying around that tests high?

OOPS, forgot to mention i got my first line to chassis bite today ahhhh that was fun, just like i remember

Steve

I was thinking maybe an ion trap issue, but the book sez the RP uses a trap but not the WP. Did you install the trap on the W? Not sure if it would matter?

GIVE BGADOW A CIGAR!!! (applause)

Removed the ion trap and it LIT!! :D

The trap was on the CRT when i recieved the tv, so i though it was supposed to be there.
The tv lights and has weak, buzzing audio, the horizontal hold wont lock, and it blooms after it warms up a bit.
I reccon thats typical of an old tv thats only had the E-caps replaced so far..

This is the FIRST Emerson tv i bought that im playin with.. Still trying to locate knobs for the second one..

Steve

Great! I really didn't know if having a trap on a non-trap tube would matter. Obviously it was sending that beam off to parts unknown!

Allrightee...

Im trying to locate some knobs for the green one 1259

Mike needs pics of the knobs so he can dig some up, unfortunately my tv came with no knobs. the SAMS on it doesnt show the knobs very well,

can anyone find a pic of this tv ?

Thanks
Steve
