Great points! Id sure hate for that picture to fall off the wall and hit the neck of my picture tube! I was feeling a lot of heat coming from the back of this set last night after about 4 hours of running.
I did drill holes in the top of the HV cage as well as 2 bigger holes in the bottom of the HV cage.
I have not yet installed a fan but have been thinking of the best way to do that. And some great ideas posted here.
Tom, did you do that fan inside of your HV cage? I know they make some smaller sized computer fans that I probably get to fit into that cage. What do you think of pulling off the heater power from focus tube, the connections are right there inside of the HV cage? I even thought about placing a normal sized PC fan under the chassis blowing up under the HV cage drawing in cool fresh air from below.
Also, so far it seems that sanding that HV reg cap down with some fine grit paper and covering it with that silicon, so far seems to have stopped the leakage. not sure how long that fix is going to last. I have been occasionally turning off the sound and listening for it.
I have noticed today that the convergence has drifted out a bit, I kinda figured maybe this would happen as the new parts break in? I will give it another good few days of working before realigning it again, maybe just wait till this weekend and bring it all back in.
Anyone got any suggestions on doing grey/white scale setup without having a usable service/normal switch? I have the RCA book that explains how to do purity, convergence and the grey/white black/white setups. and I can tell its off a bit and I had to eye the blue/green/red screen pot controls since I move them all out of adjustment when I hit them with contact cleaner and lube. I may just have to wait until I get the new switch and get it installed.
oh! I got about a total of 10+ hours so far on that 250ma fast blow fuse since I installed it so far with no problems : D
