[veg-o-matic]

Well, veg-o-matic (the village idiot) strikes again.

A while back I got the first of the two new caps installed, which didn't fix my "flag waving" problem but I didn't expect it to, since I still had another to replace.

So I finally got around to replacing the second filter cap. Had my set upside down so I could work on it. Jumpered the new cap in place and looked to see if it made a difference. The picture looked a little better, so I soldered it in place (thinking "Lookit me! I'm just like Doug!") and hoisted the beast right-side up again.

Now it looks like crap! I swear the rippling is even worse than before! What does this mean? Do I have more caps to replace? And how the heck does one replace one of those "can" caps with the multiple parts? That's where the filters are, right?

Am I going to have to break down and buy the schematic for this and try to bluff my way through understanding it? Or is it merely a matter of adjusting something (IhopeIhope)? "Now that the caps are replaced, you just have to adjust the frammis coil until the vertical synchronization locks in with the horizontal output nebulizer."

Not that I'm holding out any hope...

And guess what? The Heathkit in my den is starting to show the same problem!
