Sylvania suitcase set

[zenithfan1]

This is another set that my friend Craig has been holding for me. It is a '62 or somewhere there about. It has no HV and is covered in cigarette smoke, I mean covered! Hopefully, the tar has not shorted out the PCB. I ruled out all of the simple fixes, the FBT is good, the HOT is good, in fact all the tubes are good and appear to be original. I tested the CRT and was disappointed at first. The emissions were non existent but a few minutes of the filament running at 7 1/2 volts brought it back with a vengeance. Now, you can get a 10 plus count on the life test, the needle drops about a quarter inch then comes back 1/8 in and stays there. Tests very strong now. Still no HV but that will be for another day. The HV section is in great physical shape with no melted wax or signs of overheating. I replaced the HV regulator tube to no avail as well. I think it is a cap or something, maybe a resistor. Doesn't seem too serious. It will make a nice addition to the collection after it is completely disassembled, cleaned and repaired.
