where timmy at? timmy need to get new tv with issue to keep ctc17 stimulated

You can mail him a problematic set. That will keep the stimulation going!

Ahhhh, great idea. I think there is a 50s GE or and maybe a Hoffman out in the garage thats just loaded with wax caps. Sets that didnt even work when they rolled off the assembly line.
Ill take a look tomorrow.
Need to get the forum fired back up again.

I think the Hoffman with the yellow tinted glass would be awesome! When I do my 5, maybe some stimulation there. LOL

ah ok guys, so you want me to find a set with lots of problems so i can post the problems so that you can solve them for me,lol,lol ha ha. well i have been looking but gee i have not come across a set yet with problems. why dont you you get that set in the garage and try to fix it oh and if you may run into a problem dont hesitate to ask me, i may have the answer. tvs and the bottle dont mix they can cause a shock. :no:

so when can i expect the set that has lots of wax caps that didnt work of the line? oh i can get it going.:yes:

well why dont we get going on that motorola again with the bars on the left and low hv.
I ran into a set with that exact problem and it had a bad yoke.

well good point but since i changed the 4.7k resistor in the yoke i dont have the lines anymore and besides i have a new yoke for it but didnt put it in. the hv is good but with 2 hots something is still funny about this set and the cathode currant. the currant is at what it is stated to be but cant get it lower.

If it's right on spec, I would not worry about it too much, Check the flyback after running for a while. If it's just warm, No worries, if it's burning hot, something is wrong. I had a set with high cathode current, changed the HOT and the current dropped down to acceptable levels.

set on for awhile the fly seems hot and the hots were changed and were checked.

How's the Magnavox comb doing? I'm sure we would all like to see more pictures of it.

oh old maggie is great, super picture colors so bright. i never did anything with the record changer, the arm dont drop in the right place so ill leave it for now and maybe one day i might try to fix that problem but it plays records great as well. my 1964 rca console combo is also in really great shape i watch them all maybe 3 times a month.
