Wink RCA Victor Super

I have an RCA Victor Super that I bought the other night. It powered up w a nice picture and was fine. I laid it on it's back and got it home. Plugged it in and now I just have a small circle (2 or 3 inches) in the middle and sound. Any ideas??

It sounds like your yoke slipped back from the bell of the picture tube when on its back. Take the back off and push it back. The clamp/cover on the yokes seem to deteriorate. There is a thread on that some where, possibly in B/W forum

Thank you Dave......I will try that and let you know!! Darndest thing, it worked fine when I bought it and carefully moved it. So it makes sense seeing it was on its back. Will get back to you soon!

Hey Dave,

Looks like that did the trick! I cant seem to get the vertical to stop rolling so I may have to take it into the shop. Thanks for your help!!

You should NEVER lay sets on their backs. Good way to bust a perfectly good CRT.

This RCA is one of the VERY few sets I have seen with a flat back, my RCA 21D9475 is the same way.

I have two junkers (now) 1967 Admiral 19" color and 1955 Zenith that were stored without back covers. I always put it back on after Im done or not....back covers get legs and disappear
