yep looks like the cap I was checking out is the one in the vert out cathode bypass. I will be replacing that automatically.
I will check the can caps with my cap tester, so far most of the zenith tvs I have worked on had good can caps.
there is also a "brightness range" adj pot called out on the schematic, I did not see one of those. on the chassis.
There are some of those white caps 1000v that I will prob get rid of, and one of the Black with red stripe, I will check it.
Not sure what to do about the focus pin lead. Any ideas there? just clean it up well and epoxy it in?
The fly looked good, no dripping wax or any of that nonsense.
I see the shunt tube has test points across a 1k resistor in the cathode circuit. I will assume a 1v drop is normal (assuming its still 1k). there is a 1.5meg resistor in the HV adj pot circuit, goes to ground. If that were to drift, I think it could cause the shunt to work hard, I will check that if the shunt voltage drop across the 1k it too high.
The finish on this thing is hard, like a photo finish, I don't think I am going to be able to make it look too pretty.
Oh I changed the video cathode follower which seemed to help the video some (the video amp did not). I am hoping if I can get the HV up the pic will be a bit brighter, its not very bright right now, of course the tube was a bit weak until it heated up, so its prob tired anyway.
