Amish is probably hoarding a house full of rare vintage TV's and prototype RCA's...Thats why he's grinning!

Well, that is an "unfortunate" situation to be in . Now, what to do???

The Amish don't believe in radio, TV's or electricity, or in dentists and barbers either.

Ahh...I know an Amish family that keeps their meat in an electric freezer across the road in their neighbor’s garage. What "they" believe is that they are not allowed to have one on their property.

Whoops... I made an assumption there...Yeah now it clicks..sorry

Decided to stuff the parts back in the cabinet, since I'm more or less done with the recapping. There's still a vert lin issue I haven't sorted out yet, I think the resistors in the vert output cathode circuit are douched up or something. When I first got everything installed, vert height was way too short. Turned out to be a resistor feeding the oscillator from B+ that had drifted 120k too high. No biggie, replaced the resistor now there's plenty of height. The slight tearing at the top turned out to be a sync issue, because I didn't have any .47uf caps in the inventory. One is at the sync amp cathode, the other goes to the sync sep. Gonna be real nice once finished, I really like this set.

Tried hooking it up to the cable box, and hmmm....no audio.

Speaker wasn't blown and the output tranformer seems fine, so the circuit must not be getting powered. Sure enough, 5 minutes of poking around revealed that a 470-ohm power resistor feeding the audio output tranformer had opened up. I don't have a replacement in this value, so I'll have to order one or something. I'm sure that once it's replaced, audio will come back to life.

Replaced 4 last caps, 2 in the sync circuit, 2 connected to the vertical deflection coils. Lin is just about perfect now, but horizontal seems a bit wavy. I think one or more of the 'lytics may be buying the farm, so I guess I'll have to restuff them before calling this one done. Pretty nice pitcure so far though: "I've got a golden ticket!"
