All of the paper caps have been done. This set was totally restored when I got it, except for the one filter cap mentioned above. Even the disc caps are new...picture tube was just shot.
I agree, all signs kind of point to the damper circuit especially with the dim raster, but the 5V4 is new, just got it in from ebay (it was the only tube I didn't have). Tested strong before putting it in the set.
I've obviously got multiple issues here....it's got extreme foldover in the horizontal right in the middle of the screen and lacks width. Width control does nothing to improve it, so I'm inclined to think that I've got a bad horizontal output transformer. Gonna have to pull the chassis and ohm that out.
The horizontal drive was maxed out, but even bringing it all the way back to halfway caused no change, and with width also causing no change, that also points me to the horiz output transformer. Sound right?
