BY amp had a loose resistor, tapping the tube would cause a flash then I noticed a 47 ohm resistor that was floppy on the PCB right next to that same tube. My bad, I am pretty sure I had desoldered it while checking it out (it was in circuit P with other stuff IIRC). Any way I am sure thats it, I will pull the chassis tomorrow and correct.
Vert was also a bit jumpy, 6lu8 tube was changed, no help, but a 1 watt resistor that is right next to that tube would settle it down when hit wit some cool juice. It will get replace while I have the chassis out.
I am looking forward to getting it worked out cause it has a very nice picture. Cateract free (has the separate saftey glass lens not bonded to the tube)
I cleaned up all the tar and nicotine that was ALL over it. really gross, mixed it with dust made for big chunks of black goo as well as the brown junk everywhere. It clean up very nice.
I got some plastic and fabbed up a door (missing) over the controls. It even has the same kind of finish. I dont know how the orig stayed up and down I cant see any catches,spring mounts or overcenter type pivots. I was thinking of using some small magnets but its very close to the screen.
Maybe the pivot points were tilted in such a way as to operate over center.
I will mess with it and see.
