I popped the cover off the HV cage for a closer look. It appears the flyback has been replaced. The three HV caps were replaced with 470pF ceramic caps rated for 15kV.






I scavenged a suitable yoke from an Admiral and fired it up. I could hear the horizontal oscillator kick in and after a bit of control tweaking got a raster




This is the best I could get after going through all the various horizontal adjustments. The free running frequency and synchro waveform look OK. I'm thinking it's a problem in the sync separator circuit.


The video looks sharp so I'm hoping for a real nice picture soon as I can sort out the hor. hold issue. Also upside-down and backwards but that just requires some lead swapping.
