Sam's

I got the Sams from Vintage Electronics today.
It is a "Preliminary Data" schematic, only a single sheet with nothing except the schematic. Guess Howard S. never got around to making a final folder for it.

Anyhoo, it's quite a different layout than most, it uses a 6AU5 for a horiz output, or "Driver" as they call it and two 1V2's in a doubler circuit provide the HV.

I replaced a bad damper tube and one of the 1V2's that was shorted and powered it up but got no HV.
It's missing a 12AU7 that I now see is a d.c. restorer but also a sync sep so maybe I need to install that to get it fired up.

This set has a lot of newer caps installed underneath, including some late 70's dated Orange Drops so it must have been operating at least till then?

Eric
