Admiral 26X56 restoration

[bandersen]

I did a little more work before installing a new 16GP4. The old candohm was replaced with an aluminum housed chassis mount power resistor. A beefy Panasonic high-ripple current 105C electrolytic main filter cap replaced the Nichicon I had tacked in earlier.



I then installed a vertical retrace suppression circuit as described in Rider TV Manufacturers' Receiver Trouble Cures - Volume 1



Next I popped open the focus rheostat and bridged a break in the resistance wire. It's working very well now


It sure looks strange with that dinky 5" CRT installed.


A strong, rebuilt 16GP4 will take it's place.


Ah, that's better Time for some tweaks with a test pattern generator before installing back in the cabinet.
