Well, I glued the wire and put back the HV rectifier, powered it on, but still no raster, however, HV DC is finally working (I think). When I discharge the anode, I get a spark. It's not a big spark, but seems big enough to hurt. I suppose this means the flyback section is finally working. When I discharged it, I saw a spot on the CRT light up too. This a good sign?
I still get no raster though. So I guess I must turn my attention to the video section, yoke, and focus coil. I don't think this set has an ion trap, it does not say so in the photofact. The CRT is pushed all the way in, with the two "U" wires touching the CRT. The yoke and focus coil are securly in place. The anode connection is on the top. The CRT is held level with the holes in the yoke and focus coil with a cardboard box and a memo book, so as to not put any stress on the neck and have it implode and ruin a very desirable and rare CRT.
Since there is no raster, should I turn my attention to the video section? Should I test for any bad resistors and make sure there is enough B+? The sound section doesn't really work except the amplifier, so I get static and hum, but nothing like static you get when you tune a frequency that there is no station. With a satellite receiver connected to it, I should get sound on channel 3 if the sound section is working, but it isn't.
Right now, I'm concerned about the raster, then I'll work on the sound.
Thanks.
