They continued as CBS Laboratories. They made the Audimax and Volumax which were the standard for radio stations for many years.
Also they made the Vidifont, which was an electronic typewriter for TV stations. It loaded fonts from 8 inch floppies. (Remember those?) It was a wired logic design. It was superseded by the Chyron which could do graphics. It had a microprocessor. It also used 8 inch floppies. |
Does this match your set?
Riders vol 13, chassis https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...da8a119c_c.jpg First time I have ever seen a focus control on an electrostatic focus set. Usually, it's a jumper with 2 or 3 options. I've been curious if it gives a smooth focus change. If so, why didn't more sets use a variable control? https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...e669d36e_b.jpg |
Lots to check for low HV.

All tubes are 100% anode wire resistor good limiting resistor measures 1.7ohms and the 1x2 heater does light up,, correction I measured with the tube in so I probably measured the heater filament but it does light ok. Limiting resistor is 0.7ohms

The schematic shows both. The dotted line is the for the electrostatic focus CRT.
Anode wire resistor should be 1M, not 1.7 ohms. Filament limit resistor should be 0.51 ohms. 0.7 is close but it will run the rectifier tube a little lean and could possibly reduce the HV output. |

Unless I had the correct sams I can’t go on some voltages, I have b+ 360v focus 351v and boost 575v seems high since the sams I have says 490v boost and b+ 305v and focus should be 300+ I’m not sure where the hv should be it’s at 13 kv , bright down close to 14kv

What is the difference between the old wax yellow caps and the black bumble bee caps. What can go in place of the bumblebee cap.
|
I'd use orange drops. If you can find them. Don't be vague. ask for Sprague.
If your voltages are within 15% they are probably OK. |

The yellow caps some of the radio vendors sell are good to despite some disliking their aesthetic. Just don't melt the body with your soldering iron. They are good for restuffing which is my main use for them. |

Replace paper caps in TVs with film caps if a sufficiently close modern film caps value exists. You can get some spooky issues and strange drift from ceramics doing a film caps job. |
