that was it. I put a new socket in (better q than the old predicta style). Reset the sine wave coil, Now has very good sync. I guess there was just a hint of sync getting thru the tiny gap (like a small cap) that made it work at all before.
The contrast is not that great, and of course the focus is a bit weak (but that may just be the test jig, its got a very dirty safety glass AND a bad cat, so not sure about a focus issue. the contrast is ok, I tried jumping the cathode bypass cap just in case it was weak, not much improvement. there is some video smear but again its hard to say with the lousy test jig. the color demodulation is good, and the tint range is perfect. I will need I will check out all the peaking coils later. I need to see if the filter caps are getting warm. I will prob go ahead and re stuff them since its coming along pretty well. I don't know the condition of the convergence assy, I just have the plug in the socket but not on the CRT.
Its full of those brown drops so I am sure they need to be replaced as well. I wonder if leaky brown drops on that board will be putting an undue load on the fly?
