Me & Jeffhs are working at the same bench ! A few examples:
Hallicrafters SX 71 SW radio. I saw a toasted resistor in the front end.
We had a huge collection of Dale precision wire wound resistors thanks
to Raytheon & the American tax payers. I used one of them. The
radio went deaf. It was the new WW resistor acting as a coil.
1963 Zenith 19" tin can B&W. Found at the dump. It was in showroom condition so I fixed it up for the wife to be bedroom. 'lytic in cathode of vert out was opened. A common wham bam repair. Installed a seperate cap about 6 inches away & the set went into vert blink mode. Moved it back near the old can & it was fine.
Early 70's 12" B&W Panasonic. Fixed & was buttoning up. Noticed the best
text book case of jail bars I have ever seen. The cathode lead to the CRT had moved over by the FBT & was picking up the HV spikes.
enuf fer now
