I'm sure happy about this one. I just about have the audio figured out. Tonight I spotted a 680K resistor going to the B+ line at the 6K6 instead of the grid. Maybe I did it while swapping caps? That didn't entirely fix the delayed audio, though, at least not consistantly. Just touching the B+ line with a resistor to ground (or cap to ground) will sometimes get it to work and stay working after I remove the component. But nothing seems intermittent. This is minor stuff, though. I was able to tweak the horiz osc coil to center the travel of the horiz hold; it now will not tear at either end of the travel, which is how I want it. With nothing but the connection to the digital converter box, it tunes the FM radio band quite well-much better reception than I expected. I didn't mention it in this thread, but this uses a Mallory Inductuner. When I first went to pull the chassis I could not, for love nor money, get the tuning knob off. I tried heat, cold, lube, and all kinds of pressure. Brute force eventually got it off but also destroyed the inner workings of the tuner. I have Bill Cahill to thank for the NOS one installed now. (I bet Bill has forgot about that-it's been a few years!)
