Great picture1 I'm working on my second, the earlier chassis with a 6CG7 as vertical osc/output. So far it has all new 'lytics, and a few paper caps. Also, a couple of 1 meg plus resistors that were way out of spec.
The first one I attempted was the later version. Got the whole thing re-capped, and then found that the vert output transformer has an open primary. Haven't investigated if the connection is broken under the outer paper yet.
I expect the later one to have a brighter picture, as the 2nd anode voltage is about 2 kilovolts higher than the early one. According to an RCA tube manual, the 8DP4 was not aluminized.
Good performance from a TV with an approx. 2 megahertz video bandwidth!
Best wishes,
Kevin
