how dead could the picture tube possibly be though. If this is dead I may have no hope of fixing it. Or would it still work and have a weak picture?
I think it might be dead because all the tubes are in good condition except two, which I think would still at least get it to show picture.
I have no money right now to replace the capacitors but it does sound like a fun job. I guess I will try and check the B + supply tomorrow and its resistor for starters. Would taking the chassis out help me, I don't really wanna do to much unnecessary stuff. That might break it :S
Oh...and if I touched what I thought was the positive side of a large diode (Its blue with heat vents I know its a diode)with my voltmeter and the other end to the chassis should it of given me a large DC voltage? Possibly for the Picture tube or other tubes B+ supply?
Or would this B+ voltage more likely be rectified in an actual tube, Half wave or Other?
And am I looking for the B+ to the picture tube or all the other tubes. I don't know much about tv's but have sorta made some tube amps. And learning is fun.
