Hallicrafters T-54 Restoration
This set I bought on eBay about a month ago, I'm getting to start working on it. Metal cabinet needs to be re-finished, but I am putting that off until the end.
The 7JP4 tested good, and all of the tubes are also tested good. I also did about half of the recap job so far, I have a decent raster, but no sound(other than hum) or image at all.
I also replaced the selenium rect. with a 1N4007. I did not add an additional resistor in series, since for some reason there was already an additional 28ohm resistor in series before the selenium(in addition to the 18ohm stock part on the schematic) Maybe someone replaced the selenium in the past with a different part # or they were trying to bring the B+ down? Where is the best place to measure the B+ on this set?
