I'm finally tackling this TS-18 chassis which is a real mess. I already knew about the missing tubes, HV cage and flyback.
What I didn't expect was wire and component leads to be clipped throughout the set. Some components missing too, but most often just one end is clipped and the part is still hanging in there.
So, I'm starting at V1 and checking every single connection and component in the whole set!
While doing so, I discovered a 10 MFD capacitor that's not in the schematic. It seems to go from the cathode on V4 to the filament node of V8, V9 & V16 (the CRT).
Any idea what this is for? Does anyone out there with a TS-18 have this cap?
Thanks!
