OK, finally back to the 19K1.

First up, a little cleaning. Luckily, the dust and dirt comes off easily with a soft brush. I followed that up with a rag and a little mineral spirits.




That's better. I really like that copper plating - not a speck of rust to deal with.


The flyback looks to be in excellent condition


Only a couple issues so far. One, a crude electrolytic repair. A wire to the right was cut, the ends stripped and the capacitor lead spliced in. I think I'll replace the whole wire and restuff the electrolytic can.


Two, the yoke & focus coil plug and socket are damaged. I posted in the classified section for a replacement. Plan B is to replace it with a more conventional octal plug & socket.


Otherwise, just loads of capacitors to replace. The wire-wound sand power resistors are in miserable condition too.
