Had an interesting few weeks...ah, Jury Duty....Part of being an American! Interesting experience, especially with the Federal...
Anyway's, finally got back to this thing. It's working again, and a little better than before! Changed some resistors out when I was searching for the issues (previous to today) that I was having. Also found that this 10BP4 is in much better shape than I thought. Set still has issues....which of coarse, i'd appreciate help with
Well, I explained in the post above, that I got my vert. deflection back. I also solved the previous issue of the set running worse with full voltage, as compared to the 85 volts beforehand. Also readjusted the ion magnet at the end of the crt, because I noticed a shadow on the edge of the pic. Got it adjusted well, and now this thing gets much brighter than It could before, and the set has GREAT contrast with it.
On to the problems I still have. Two things obvious with the image on the screen. During a still shot, there is an obvious, MAJOR wave going on. Like a flag... I also still have that issue with the vertical lines that go down the screen. (I got a few pics that i'll post later.) These lines do disturb the linearity a bit.
On to the other issues that aren't too important, but still odd and could (probably) be made better.
First off, The sound don't match with best pic on this set... It matches with the worst pic. (When it comes to fine tuning.) I tried to get it re-aligned but its a different set up than the other sets that i've had to deal with this situation on.
Second issue, Transformer (T1 on the SAMS schematic) gets HOT after an hour. Hot as in, don't hold it for longer than 15s or it'll burn. I believe this is the filament transformer.
Third issue would be operation of some of the rear controls. Horizontal & Vertical Hold's don't have much range before they lose sync. I've read that some of these earlier Motorola's though, don't have the best of sync.IDK...
I also found that the Horizontal Linearity control is funky too. It acts more like a brightness control that has less range..
Well, that's where I'm at now. I'll get some pics of my vid issues tomorrow.
