This Motorola VT-71. It is working but I have some traveling to do so I have to get back to it. As you can see, the usual deteriorated CRT surround. I have a new repro one so that problem will be resolved.
All caps except mica and disc have been replaced. What I found was any repairs done were done to the HV capacitors. ALL other components are original... or shall we say, "Were" original. Whomever did the repair work just snipped off the component and then tacked it back to the terminal. It made it easy to remove. But I got all traces of the old wire out of that little hole. Two mica capacitors were just tacked in. They measured perfect so they went back in the proper way.
Ad it actually now does work. First electrostatic set that I have worked on. I guess that an oscilloscope does not count!
