Flyback

I got the Flyback from Moyer.
It was basically the same except it was a mirror image of the original.

Sooo, I had the scary and unpleasant chore of unsoldering the tire and tube sockets (one of the old sockets had been arcing) and remounting them on my old Phenolic board.

Everything came out fine, the Fly works and the set has a raster.

Someone had plugged a 6AU6 in a 6AL5 socket in the I.F. section, and a 6CB6 in place of a 6AG5 in the tuner, after I replaced those I was able to tune in some stations but now I have a horizontal problem, I can't quite get it to lock in on frequency.

I can adjust the frequency slug to get multiple side by side images but I cant get it to go down enough to lock in on a single image.
Maybe after I finish recapping the set it will work.

Eric
