Maybe someone with Rider TV books or SAMS can look it up to find out how it was configured. Good Luck! Sounds like an interesting challenge.  |
Yes there is a high voltage cap below the high v rectifier...... Like you, I too looked up the 16rp4 specs and yes it shows a coating....
But this muntz is working....no coating on crt or grounding strap.........no where on chassis...now what. use another crt and put my own grounding strap on or what. I will recheck what model number it is and post it here.I just dont know which way to go,The set works well but the crt is weak and has the classic "indian" test pattern burned onto the screen....... So I would like to do something
