Hi Captain Video and Jordan,
This model was very popular here in Italy in the '50 but mine is the first I've ever seen, mine is also strange, this model usually was fitted with a metal cone CRT, or at least a friend of mine told me this, I have an MW 43-64 all glass and it seems to work flawlessy.
I found the fault in the vert section, it was a 2M2 resistor feeding the sync separator plate (an ECL80) that drifted to over 6M, now when you change channel, it sync instantly and mantain it as long as you play the set
. Also the EHT seems to be OK and it doesn't discharge anymore. I have to wait the cabinet from my friend whom is repairing the rectangular hole and I can put it in regular use (2-3 hours a day... I know I shouldn't use it so much, but I couldn't resist
)
Thanks for your kind answers
