Hi Guys,

I've tried him, but he won't post to Australia. One thing I haven't yet asked him is if he will email the files or put them in a shared folder after I pay. I don't really need the disc as the files will end up on the ipad anyway.

All the caps in the vertical circuits have been replaced except the ceramics. I'm also wondering about the couplates, the vertical ones in particular. I'm thinking of building one and subbing it in to test.

The video source can be ruled out, as I used it on my first set without problems. I recently finished an HMV set that looks almost identical to a GE set that Bob was working on, I couldn't believe the similarity. Shown here with a frame of "Tarantula!"

If I don't get a solution to the jiggling, it'll be interesting to see if I still get it when restoring the Holiday. By the way, I've also tried direct video in straight to the 2nd det terminal of the sweep board... no difference sadly. Meanwhile, I'll try your suggestions. Forgot to add: I placed a 470mfd cap in parallel with the main 275V filter cap, also no change. There was no sizable ripple, but I thought I'd try it anyway.

Cheers,

Adam
