53 Sylvania up & running
Wanted to update and thank everyone for the help..in getting me to obtain a watchable picture on my 1953 halolight Sylvania.
Got the volume control to work by replacing the two audio tubes and cleaning the control and sockets with solvent cleaner. Volume and brightener controls work nice and no loud crackle sounds when adjusting volume. Need to tweek horizontal now and then but seems to be stable. Takes about a minute for the horiz. tube to warm up..but then locks in the picture pretty nice. I losened the two wing nuts on the yoke and twisted the whole thing gentley to the right and now the picture is level..the movie intros and wording is now level and when the action starts with the movie characters...they do not look like they are running up a hill. Have to push the picture a little to the right..as there is a thin black band there..but do not know how that is done? Also have some shadowing or think it is called ghosting on the left of screen only. Read that it could be caused by phosphor charge. Should I extend the dang coat further out to the front of the picture screen..or use some foil to eliminate any charge? Or is there a chassis tube that needs to be replaced or checked that controls this effect? Thanks for any ideas or inputs...I want to again thank all who pushed me along and helped with there typing time and experience. |
