I would assume bad caps on this one as well. Especially since many of them have been changed and perhaps something wasn't hooked in right the last time? I'm not "bagging" on veg-o-matic, as he has certainly shown more ability than myself in repair attempts. All I can do is diagnose and change tubes. I can't solder worth a crap, and I don't dig in anything too deep for fear of really screwing something up. My comment in general tho, as I've noticed this in other posts, and to a degree in this one, is why some freak out and assume the caps in mid 60's to 70's color sets are always a "problem" and must be changed, even when the set shows no symptoms of having a problem in that area? They use the "modern" caps and it's not like they are a danger or problem like in the 50's stuff. My repairman Uncle who I observed and worked with always found the specific problem and repaired it. He wouldn't mess around with future potential problems as he believed "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" as that could cause MANY worse problems. As for this problem, yes most likely an incorrect or bad cap, but I have seen the damper tube cause this, as well as a bad Yoke. You can't assume that just because the set may have had a bad cap before that this is the same problem now. It narrows your scope in getting this problem fixed. Veg, if you have anyone in your area that you can get to repair this I suggest you take it to them. I screwed my "roundie" up and had to take it in, and I hope all works out well for you on this set. From your posts it sounds like you really enjoy and appreciate what you have. Good luck!
