This Philco is driving me nuts...

[Big Dave]

Model 50-T-1403 (SAMS 114)

I replaced all of those evil black beauties and electrolytics. The horizontal is way off frequency. I can draw a small arc off the 1B3, but I can tell the HV at the anode is very low. I can barely see light on a good tested 12LP4 when I kill the lights (image is barely noticeable). voltages on the hor out are within specs, but the control grid measures -25 volts where the SAMS calls for -11.

Dumb question number 1... (not necessarily in any order here)...

Can an off freq hor oscillator cause low HV at the anode?

On pin 5 (6SN7 (v17 on the print) I should get 45 volts, but am getting twice that.

I'll post the readings vs. what the SAMS says tomorrow (I had a few lites, so it's not a good idea to play with electricity).

Are there any parts on these Philcos that are notorious (besides caps)?

I am getting very healthy readings from the power supply. The vertical section appears to be working properly (hard to tell without a picture) and the sound is good. Side note, one of the lugs on the volume control broke during the recap and I used a rat shack pot (please help me before shooting) and the sound is great.

Back to the subject at hand. The horizontal section is driving me koo-koo. If you look at my website, this is the one that had the broken CRT. It's come a long way (transformer and high voltage cage repainted).

Again, any help is greatly appreciated.
