The Process continues ….
Greetings Marshall. The process continues. There are 2 more electrolytic “cans” that I need to replace and the screen grid resistor for the horizontal output tubes that is chassis mounted is also in need of replacement. These types of resistors are obsolete so I will be mounting terminal strips to the chassis where the original resistor is in order to make that repair. Also, the modification to the ON/OFF switch with the added relay will be necessary and I need to find one of those relays before I can do that mod. I will be servicing the tuner also, while the chassis is in this position on the bench. I hope to start firing things up within the next month or so in order to determine the condition of things. So far, a lot of capacitors and resistors have been replaced, all in hopes of a positive outcome. When I am finished with the “bottom” of the chassis, at least for now, I will begin the component replacements on the top. Some of those are in the High Voltage cage and there are several others in different circuits that I need to explore. I have attached 2 pictures. The first one is an image of the parts that I have replaced so far. The second is the bottom of the chassis showing the new parts. The image can be compared with the original that I sent previously before the restoration was started.
Cheers, Mike
104 parts replaced.
