My TV Restoration Thread!.

[OS X]

Hi, I decided to start this thread as I have around 70 TV's I'm going to be restoring over the course of years, most of them are B&W Sets, I figured I will make this a all in one thread for all the B&W sets I have. I will apologize in advance if I ask stupid questions, but I'm still learning so there's still a lot of things I don't know, however I got changing Caps down pretty good so far.

We will first start with the 23in Zenith that is on the bench, when I first got this set it would immediately trip it's circuit breaker, I did some research and it looked like it was more than likely one of the electrolytic's so I just replaced them all, that brought the set back to life! It works reasonably well but after it's been running for around 5 minutes the horizontal starts to shrink, I tested all the tubes and all were good I even replaced the horizontal output tube just to be safe, but still no change so I got a few suggestions and it looks like it may be a resistor changing value when the set heats up, I pulled the chassis and measured the resistance of the resistors on the horizontal output tube socket, from what I can find out one resistor was supposed to be a 68k with a tolerance of 10%, but according to my multi-meter if I'm testing it right? It only reads 30K which would be out of spec. I haven't really tested to many resistors before so I may also be doing it wrong. I think I'll just replace that resistor and see if that helps and then go from there
