So I'm working on this RCA 2T51 re:
http://audiokarma.org/forums/showthr...&threadid=7085
After replacing several caps inside the HV cage the #*&$ thing didn't work anymore
I futzed with it for an hour or so before I remembered this set uses an electromagnetic speaker and it WON"T WORK if it's not plugged in
Heh heh.. anyway it works again now, the picture is nice and bright after getting rid of the bad resistor and getting some HV to the CRT Anode.
Nice and clear too, even with the 8" test CRT I was using.
Only thing now is the Vertical is badly messed up, there is a three section Lytic I haven't done yet and I am pretty sure that will take care of that.
I don't think I'm going to recap the I.F section, it is working great right now so why tinker and screw up the alignment?
