The set is being fed from an antenna - just a pair of rabbit ears. Yes the screen is very blue although I see a red line thats maybe collapsed at the bottom of the screen.
I haven't fully "recapped" any sections yet. The thought of depleting my entire radio capacitor selection by replacing the 135 or so capacitors I counted on the schematic is frightening. So far I've replaced the two can capacitors, C122 which is across the primary of the vertical output transformer, C604 in the horiz. osc. circuit across the sine wave coil, and C610 on the cathode of the 6CG7.
This brings up a few questions:
1) What is the chance that any of the disc capacitors are still good in comparison to the failure rates of the paper capacitors? Also can these be replaced by the same 630V metalized poly film caps that I use for the paper caps?
2) Why doesn't the service manual have a parts list? This would be unheard of for larger tube count radio schematics.
3) Is there any way I can adapt my Eico 635 tube tester to check the guns on this color tube? It has the 8 and 12 pin 110 degree sockets but no 14 pin socket. I would hate to get any further with this set only to find that I do have a bad tube.
Thanks!
