Re-capping Raytheon...

[Charlie]

Okay... here's a couple of shots of what I've got so far... weak pic, retrace lines (which are kinda hard to see in these photos), and no brightness control.

On the other hand... I've got good vert and horz hold, sound, and it seems to pick up stations pretty good (considering I'm out in the woods right now).

The set has an interesting tuner. A drum of screws rub against a cam and drive six plungers up and down into a set of coils. I haven't seen one like this before. Because of it's design, each click of the tuner is more like a huge "clunk" and feels more like an industrial switch that turns an entire neighborhood on and off!

Terry: Years ago, I used to bring projects with me to work on while on board ship. I can remember re-capping a TV, a radio, and a portable Magnavox 3" reel-to-reel. At one point, the chief engineer hung a sign on my door that said "Electron Room" and it stayed there till the ship was sold for scrap. Now days, I don't bring anything to work on since I'm usually flying out west or to Panama to join the vessel.
