Hi there, it's been a while since I've checked in on this thread. The indextron is still disassembled on my bench so I took some pics for you. I haven't attempted to power it on since last time.
I didn't replace every capacitor on either the diversity unit or the tv unit, I left the really tiny non polar caps and really large high voltage caps, maybe this was a mistake. I did test every original cap with a ESR meter and they all tested well within spec.
The diversity unit does operate the relay when powered on. I'm using a 16V 4.5A laptop charger to power both the diversity unit and tv. The voltage drops to ~14v under load IIRC. I had wondered if this was enough to power it, I don't have a good way of measuring the current draw but the charger brick stays relatively cool.
I haven't actually tested the audio outputs yet to see if the tuner is functioning...
I want to finish this project to make room on my bench, I know if I put it back together now I'll probably never come back and finish it LOL
HelloVoltage, any information you can give me on what you had to repair and replace on either unit, please share! I'm a novice when it comes to CRT's and electronics repair in this context so what you might think is not worth mentioning might be very valuable to me! Thanks for the help so far.
Here's some pics
