That can't be good


Found another cap hiding deep in the bowels. It's the coupling cap between the sync amp and sync clipper.


OK, that got the sync working, but now I have horrible bending and brightness bars. I figure there must be some major hum in the b+.


Yep, sure enough. I connected the 2nd main filter cap to ground when it should be the B- rail.
