Wow. What an evening. You know I had to keep the Tv in my Vw bus temporarly. Well the Vw is my daily driver. Guess what happened today. My right rear break locked up. I managed to get into my apartment's carport. I need to get the Vw towed, but not with that TV in the back!! No one around to help me, so I had to pull the chassis and 21 inch CRT and walk up 3 flights of stairs. . . . avoiding all the metal railings around each bend!!! Then to my door . . . nudging the handle with my elbow.!!!
Its sitting peacefully in my living room. I'm releaved that I'm not blind with glass shards in my face! Not cool. Not at all. . . .
The TV was too heavy for me and my girlfriend to get up 3 flights of stairs. With the chassis pulled now I think she and I can manage the cabinet.
Hey, at least now I can test the tubes and possibly reform the electrolytics with my variac. I'll replace them once I have my Sams schematic, but for now I'm gonna have a little fun. Both the TV and variac are fused, so I shouldn't smoke a tranny.
