We have now got VIDEO and sound!







Well I got my signal issue sorted and did another power up. This time at the suggestion of a member of ARF to my thread there; I meetered the screen of the horizontal with the plate lead of the HOT connected, and I got 150V. This is close enough to the 160V sam's calls for that I will not loose sleep over the resistor that is in there(at least for now). When I first powered it up with signal the video was so weak I almost missed it. I did see it though and synched up the horizontal and vertical. Even with the contrast maxed the video was really weak, and the deflection would not keep synch so my mind went straight to AGC. The control was near max already and maxing it did not yield enough improvement so I started jiggling tubes in their sockets and it was the second IF tube that fixed it. In fact after shifting that tube to a better position the signal was overloading the set. A quick readjust of the AGC and all was well (except for the dead color circuits and a some other bugs).

The HV stayed at about 20KV this time and adjusting the regulator would only reduce it. After about an hour of operation the fly was pretty warm.
I think it is about time for me to read and preform the Sam's horizontal adjustment procedure on this set....

The screen controls were sticky and the red is stuck. Between this and the dirty tube sockets I believe that it is time to get some DeOxit and start cleaning controls and contacts.

WOO HOO! Just a bit more and it will be working like new again!
