Well , i got the two resistors replaced and the three section cap replaced with three individual caps . Replaced the burnt 6ca4 , as well as the two 6bq5 tubes . After word i plugged it in and tried it out . The AM radio worked excellent , however no FM , so i pulled the tuner out and found a bad Fm detector tube as well as a few weak tubes . Replaced those tubes and cleaned controls and replaced all burnt bulbs . Turned it back on and wow , what a nice sounding radio !!!! Really has a nice sound !!!
My next task was the tv . I noticed a few tubes had gone to air , they had that white film on them , so i replaced those tubes . Afterward gave the crt a quick shot with my Beltron . Then i felt a bit brave and wanted to see if there was any life in this tv , so i plugged it in and to my surprise it had high voltage and excellent sound . However it only had a vertical line across the screen . So next i replaced the two vertical tubes , however no changed , next i tried adjusting controls , vertical height and vertical linerity , no change . Then i sprayed the vertical controls with electronic cleaner and tried again . TO my surprise i got a picture . Not fully covering the screen , but 3/4 of the screen . Anyhow its not the greatist quality picture , however at least i know there is life in this set . There seems to be all "Elemenco " white caps in here . I am assuming these all should be changed as well as the electrolytics . Have to obtain a sams 508 and get recapping !!!
