Italian Philips TV back from the Hell!!

[Giulio Maiocco]

Hi,

I would like to share with you some photos of my new toy, a 1955 Philips 17" B&W TV. It arrived just a month ago, the express courier managed to smash the CRT (an MW43-64 70° deflection angle), the back cover and to make a rectangular hole on the top of the cabinet . Anyway I had a very strong spare CRT, I cleaned the chassis with lighter fuel, I recapped the whole TV and I was rewarded with a very good working "toy" . Just yesterday I found an UHF converter in my spare caddy and hooked it up...needless to say I got a very good picture. I must say I was worried about the alignment would go nuts with the converter addition, but so far so good ....

I have only to discover why the vert sync is a little unstable on the first 10-15 minutes of operation and where the EHT sometimes discharges with a quite loud bang and I could declair it done

Here are some photos, please let me know what do you think (sincerely) about my restoration
