todays project will be to check all the tubes (yea I only did some subs on the HV tubes to get it working thus far), see about installing a cathode fuse on the HOtube (or at least a test point that is easy to get at).
there was some issues with the 1st start up, the drive to the HO tube was not right, very small PP and way to fast (like 8x fast) It seems to start out this way and then pops in as the H tube warms up. Not sure if its just a tube issue or one of the feed back caps in the H board may be an issue. I will check out some of those mica caps as well if a tube swap does not settle it down.
I need to get some correct fuses (the kind with the ears on one side) but at least I know the fly is ok, so I am willing to spend some more time on it.
the vert sweep was not full, about 4" short. I dont know if it was a mis adjusted pot (as I had cleaned them) but if not then I will need to check the electro in the cathode circuit, pretty sure its in a can as I could not see a single anywhere on the board.
My shop is in a bit of a state of flux, so I am having to work on the floor, in the garage, on top of boxes etc... not the best situation.
