well, if you don't still keep the vert hold, it is probably a tube ( Vert hold or Vert line , in the VERT section anyways.i can't say )on the chassis. but, change the resistors and you will see what happen Fixmeplease ;).. show us some pictures from your work with the tv ...sorry if my English is bad , I speak french and i don't use a translator...

I'll get some more pictures on tonight. I think your right about it being a tube and i think I know which one and ordered it today. I think I finished up the chassis today. I changed out a few more resistors in the video tube areas and not much more I can do, I dont think. It did make the picture a little clearer. I do need to adjust a slug a little so am going to read on that.

Super fixmeplease !

OK, Ive already posted quite a few pictures but heres a few more. One is after I put new aqua dag on. One on the bench with picture was yesterday and the one of Hoss is after I was done today. The one of the underside is before I worked on it today, which was just 4 more resistors. There are 13 new caps, plus 3 electros, and 8 resistors.

My screens bottom part is lighter sometimes than the top, people look a little tall, its off center a little, and some vertical hold problems, but its quite watchable and Ive ran it a lot today. I have a tube ordered that I think will solve the vertical hold. Then I'll worry about the rest. I'll take it apart again in the summer and bead blast and repaint, except the areas with writing. Its a 17"

I really like analog sound better than digital, including old radios I work on. My hearing is bad and its easier for me to understand.

Cool !.. now we can watch Bonanza.. lol

Great job on the dag and recap. This is turning out very nice. :thmbsp:

That's an RCA CRT, isn't it. It would have the EIA # 274 on the base.
Wells Gardner used good parts in their products. Great restoration! The set seems to work well, even for a basic model.
FWIW, W-G&Co is still in business, but not making TV's. :thmbsp:

Nice work!

Thanks guys!

Yes, the crt has the number 274 on it, but no brand... But now I know its an RCA. Thanks

Hi fixmeplease,
You'll find that analog sound is not as harsh and tinny as digital. It is the way sound is ment to be heard. Most audiophiles, and music lovers in general prefer analog to digital.
