Smile One step forward

I decided that R151, 470K being high by 20% shouldn't be problem since they used a 2.2meg in the previous version. I was wrong about R152 being the wrong value installed, I misread the bridge number in the schematic. R155 is a bit high, but again shouldn't cause a major problem. I tried various 12AU7's and still had the folding on the right. I decided to take the JJ ECC-82 from the vertical section and try it expecting to have the horizontal back the way it was. No, changer other than improved width.

I then did the horizontal alignment. This was much easier than the first time since there was much less interaction between the adjustments. Everything behaved as it should. I ended up with a nice horizontal alignment. This makes me believe even more that the brand new ECC-82 that I had used originally, had a heater/cathode short to begin with.

If you want to read about how the alignment is done you can find it at:
Service Manual

It uses the following supplements:

Supplement-1

Supplement-2

I have chassis C15 and bridge B17.

While the effects are obvious, I don't understand why the charge peaking resistor R211 needs to be shorted in the first part of the adjustment, or what the ringing coil L60 does.

An oddity is the 20MFD electrolytic paralleling a fuse. It's C219 around F1. Any ideas on that would be appreciated.
