My next restoration victim, Silvertone

[Eric H]

I've made quite a lot of progress on this one.

Got all the caps replaced, for the five section cardboard electrolytic I just removed it and installed the individual caps where the original leads connected so they are scattered all over the chassis, as luck would have it there was a ground point within reach of all of them.

The other cardboard tube contained two individual metal can caps, I just removed those and soldered the wires directly to the new caps and stuck them inside the tube in it's original location, I'll squirt some Silicone Rubber inside to hold them in place.

The rest were just common value tubular caps, I replaced them all with the usual yellow axials.

I ordered a supply of caps from Sals Capacitor Corner, they were cheap and got here fast, they look like very good quality and have long leads on them, this was the first time I ordered from him but I will be going back next time. http://www.tuberadios.com/capacitors/

The Electrolytics came from Mouser.

the set is making a great picture but the sound is nearly inaudible, seems like that's usually the case, tweaking the detector didn't seem to make any difference but I didn't really get into it tonight because I'm tired of working on it for now.

the Vertical Lin control is either damaged or dirty, the vertical is a flat line up to a point then it pops up to a full raster, I'm able to get decent linearity but I'll probably have to fix it to get it perfect.
