Alright, now that my high voltage leak is patched up, I feel considerably better about taking live voltage readings on this set. I took a few earlier, but I noticed that the readings change noticeably depending on what channel the tv is set to, etc, so I looked in my schematics and it say's to take DC readings with no signal present, set to channel 2, and "normal" setting of controls. The last part of that I have a question about...
What would be considered "normal?" As in, should I set the brightness, contrast, AGC delay, etc, to their middle positions? Looking back at the schematics I posted before...
I'm wanting to check out this area and see what's going on with my contrast control. Maybe I'll have to take some measurements and adjust some of the controls and take note of what changes? I guess I just don't want to waste time giving you guys voltage readings that are off kilter due to something dumb I overlooked.
Huh, I just realized something. As of yesterday, I started this thread exactly 2 months ago. ( and I'm still not done
) Time flies, huh?
