after replacing the color amp tube/sound IF (both 6kT8's) and the 6Z10 audio out, the color and audio are MUCH better. Seems the more I run it the better it gets.
there is still some horz lin issues, and I need to check the cathode current (not that there is anything to adj, no eff coil on this one). My guess is a new HOT/Damper/horz osc will clear that up.
the color and tint pots are very dirty so I will most likey be pulling the chassis just to clean up those. While out I will clean on the tube socket pins, and check for out of spec parts. Its kind of a toss up as to should they be replaced, that is the set is working do I mess with it until its not...
the stereo pots are dirty, and I prob should at least replace the output caps (big 500uf 50v that drive the speakers) the AM is iffy, I am pretty sure it has some shorting plates in the VC.
