HHm , well i will take Don Lindslys advice and check the ground at the plug before operating . It does have two selenium rectifiers and from what i seen last night they are a doubler circuit . It would explain the way i saw the one electrolytic ground wiried and the wiring of the rectifier . I did power up before with a cheater cord before i actually read this thread and realized what i was dealing with . It powered up fine , i think it works either way however i hope i didnt damage anything . I pretty much has high voltage and sound however it has a vertical issue . I have a horizontal line across the screen . I have yet to recap the IF/TUNER/VIDEO chassis yet , maybe the problem lies there . I do not have a isolation transformer and would like to obtain one soon but i have not come across one and i am afraid of buying one on ebay and it wind up being someones broken junk . I have had bad luck with buying test equipment from Ebay . It usually does not work and gets damaged in shipping . Usually my best bet is a radio swap meet or a yard sale .
