Thanks to all for the outstanding tips on restoring this RCA TV.
I just finished this one last night after hours of work. Eric you were right about this set being a pain to restore, I rate it right up there with the Holiday Predicta as a nightmare chassis to work on.
Someone in the past tack soldered a few caps on top of the board but I removed the bottom plate and installed "ALL" the caps properly. The set improved slowly as I re-capped the set (Including all electrolytics) But wasn't stable until I re-capped the board. Runs great now. The last thing I need to do is replace those Selenims, I tried the 1KV 600V diodes with resistors in series but they didn't work. I don't have the Sams for the proper voltage rating so I guessed with 300 ohm resistors no luck. The seleniums are behind the CRT so It's hard to get a probe back there to measure. The original seleniums are hooked up for now until I get the Sam's folder. I'll replace those seleniums for sure, I can take this set apart in my sleep now. Thanks again for all the help.
