Thanks, Captain. Things are definitely looking up since some setbacks have been cleared up including having to send one set back to its owner "improved, but not restored" partially due to his shortcuts in attempting to restore it himself, partially due to breakdown of my best Tek 475/DM44 scope and partially because trying to operate the chassis with the 21" glass CRT I had on hand proved feasible but frightening ... was afraid I'd weaken the neck one of those times installing and removing the yoke from the customer's set, thus making one of my sets harder to restore.
Still looking for a manual for a Sylvania CK3000 test jig I obtained recently. Perhaps some adaptors exist to interface it to one or two types of REALLY OLD color chassis.
Still wondering where to find those static convergence sliders to fix that Admiral roundie from my collection and wondering if anyone has some spare PM double-field ion traps for sale. So far, I've encountered one customer who sent me a B/W set with a 10BP4 and missing its trap magnet and I expect there may be other sets out there with the ion traps missing.
Just picked up a Tek 475 today at the post office ... with warranty this time. That will allow me to do advanced work such as alignment until I can find time to repair an intermittent X-Y mode condition on my other 475 and then have two reliable 475's on hand.
This summer, I plan to take some time off to restore some of my own sets while waiting for parts for other ones since I'll have a third workspace available.
