While I wait for the parts to arrive I'd like to clean up the HV cage. Never having done a TV before with a flyback I could use some guidance. I want to clean this up and of course replace the 2 680K 2w resistors with 2 680K 3w resistors and the .00047 10Kv cap with a .00047 15Kv cap from Just Radios.
It liiks like I could remove the cage portion by unscrewing it from the chassis, removing the flyback mounting screws, and the 1 screw holding the phenolic standoff. Once that is removed I can access the the electrical parts. Here's where I could use some help. I'm thinking of removing the wires from the flyback phenolic board and releasing the clips on the 1B3GT tube socket to completely remove the "guts" so I can work on them on the bench.
My other option is to unsolder the flyback wires from underneath the chassis instead of from the flyback board. I've included close up pictures of what I have to work with.
Also there is a very small separation of the flyback tape on the top of the flyback. Should I look at repairing this or just leave it alone?
What should I use to clean the whole thing off with? I usually use some rubbing alcohol, Q-tips, etc.
While I have it out, is there anything else that needs to be done to it?
Thanks.
