Horizontal issue

[bigaudioal]

Yeah, the more I am researching, the more I think you guys are correct and it may just be a tube. I have switched them around but my stock is very limited at this point. This week I am gonna break open my other Admiral console with almost identical chassis (same SAMS) and "borrow" the tubes from there to try and diagnose the issue. Know those tubes are good and working in that set fine.

We'll see.

Probably, but if you replaced the 5% tolerance .0039 capacitor across the Horizontal Lock coil on your Telebar, then if the substitute tubes do not cure the problem, paint a dot on that coil shaft and count your turns and direction (write them down while testing) so you can get back where you started. If turning it one way makes it worse, try turning it the other.

To paraphrase another members sig, "Perfection is hard to reach with a screwdriver unless you have a good calibrated signal generator and a good scope!" However, it this case if you are careful and don't muck it up, you probably can.

Happy to report that swapping the Horiz. Mult. 6SL7 tube did the trick!!!! Watching the set going on an hour and a half now. Solid! Did take me a bit to get the Horiz lock, horiz hold and horiz linearity adjustments to all jive, but looks pretty decent now.
