The television seems to work OK now, but there are still some problems, If I turn the brightness/contrast pot to half the picture is OK but I fI turn it even more up at first it flashes-brightly as it will get brighter but then it dims down how it was potenciometer knob half way, which makes me suspect the HIGH-VOLTAGE circuits dont have enough power getting to them and that's where the old filter-caps maybe at fault, cause when I had a dead short somewhere in the power sully I removed all of the cans and some of them had some white gunk spreading out ,other some bubbles so no doubt they are leaky and bad ...
I first test ran the set for 30 minutes, the HO cathode current stayed spot on 120 mA, I dont know how much is suposse to be, and them measured the temperature of the flyback,primary winding(HV-WINDING) slightly worm to cool, and the secondary winding was at about 111.2f (44°C), and then later I ran it for a good hour and half, the primary was very cool, and the secondary winding's were at about 122f (50°C) and cathode current stayed same all the time 120 mA.Now I dont have enough experience to tell if these are normal operating temp of the flyback.
can bad and leaky filter-caps make the flyback run a bit too worm maybe, or the selenium rectifier, cause I didn't changed it.
Also I'm having trouble finding a good signal source for the TV for a nice non distorted picture, as you can see in pics there are quite a few problems, on one of them there are these vertical lines (hum bars),but on other channels they go away, so its not a problem with tuner.I tried feeding signal to the tuner with DVD , and I did saw some lines that weren't there before I plugged it in, but nothing,almost like the frequency is totally different ...I would need one of those litlle boxes that generates a test pattern on the tv, so then I could calibrate the TV.
Now I have it hooked up on regular old analog cable tv
