We have got a RASTER!!


About an hour ago I finished preparations and proceeded to do a full power up including the FULL horizontal stage. The best replacement for the bad 11K ohm 10W screen resistor for the HOT I could find was a 10K 7W, but I figured that it would last long enough for a full test, and I was right.
After putting the sub in with the top lead of the HOT still disconnected I read 110V. Sam's calls for 160V at the screen. I also decided not to sweat over not having the vertical osc. running the other day as I noticed that the plate of that tube gets it's voltage from the boost line, and thus would not work unless I went ahead and connected the flyback up to the HOT and damper.
The HV was only 15 KV (and falling) on the second test (I was too excited on the first brief power up to read the meeter). I figure that with low HOT screen grid voltage and all new tubes across the board that this is not too bad for a first power up.
I did not have sound during the test which I attribute to me messing with the tuner setting earlier in the day. This set may possibly have video for all I know.
This was the last task of the night. I'll see if I can do more tomorrow.
