I finished recapping the B3 chassis. I found convenient tie points for the electrolytics and didn't bother restuffing the cans.



Still haven't found a yoke yet, but I wanted to try a power up. So I popped out the hor. and vert. output tubes and subbed in a power resistor for the focus coil.


The voltages are all high (200 volt bus is 300) but I figure that's to be expected with some power hungry circuits disabled.


After a bit of control fiddling, I was able to get some deent FM radio reception. Now to dig up a yoke and recap inside the HV box.
