My Motorola Project: "Television Impossible"

[Kamakiri]

Decided to resume a little work on the set. Immediately something didn't make sense.....

I ordered the caps from Digikey off the schematic, and something looked immediately wrong. Hm, seems the set doesn't have this many. Am I missing something?

I sure was. I had the chassis model wrong. It's a TS-351. D'Oh!

So, it's back to fleabay for another sams. Meanwhile, I changed all the chassis brackets and the yoke over from the old chassis and test fit the picture tube.....




I did notice that underneath that just about all of the larger resistors are cracked in half. Wonder what kind of catastrophe caused that kind of cascade failure.....
