Hallelujah!
After finishing up the Magnavox, then taking care of a load of non-TV-related "job jar" items, this morning I got the Capehart 325 back out for another go-round with it.
I made an "error-in-thinking" assumption in one circuit. When replacing (and repositioning) the power-supply electrolytics, I pulled a wire from the case of one of the multi-can capacitors, and when repositioning the cap a mile away, decided to just run the wire to an equivalent point elsewhere in the circuit. Turns out it wasn't equivalent. Brain fart. It led to a dead section of TV set in the 6AH6 Video Amp section (among others). I corrected it. Full raster. After some knob turning (agc, focus, vert lin), I have pretty good-looking snow. Good stopping point for the night.
I'm really strongly leery about saying this. I have no larceny in my heart and no ill will towards anybody. Just for the people who were technically interested in technical details about the technical facts of this TV. It's displaying a very nice raster, with no ion trap.
Just the fact. No ion trap. No hidden meaning nor insults. Really.
I'll prolly post one more pic of it all zipped back up and showing a football game or something, just for full closure, then I'll retire from here. It's a fun place sometimes, sometimes not, and I admit I don't fit in very well. Problem's with me, you guys all are great.
Enjoy,
- Kirk
