So a month or so ago I was watching this set and first the horiz drifted off frequency, and then I lost all HV.
So I pull the chassis out today (and this is one of those sets where the crt goes with the chassis, I don't think anyone should have ever done this with a 70deg. 21" crt). So I check the horiz osc tube and horiz output tube and damper, all ok. Then I turn the set on (with the chassis and crt still connnected and sitting on the bench), and I get no picture at all, but I can hear the yoke when I move the h. hold control. I check voltages at the horiz osc, and output tube, and damper and everything looks ok, but still no picture. So I unplug the set and go to unplug the 2nd anode connection from the crt thinking there's no HV so I don't discharge it first, and yaargh!!!!
there was plenty of HV. Then I turn the set on again and it works fine, I got full HV, the picture came up, and I can move the h. hold control all the way from one end to the other and not loose sync. I'm not sure what just happened, but I'm going to run it up on the bench for a while and see if anything happens, if it's still working in a few hours, I'll put it back together.
