Have you checked the CRT yet?

Hi Clark. The CRT is kind of tired, but it's at least into the good(green)on my B&K 466. But I do have a spare 12LP4. When I get a chance I'll pop the Raytheon CRT into my Admiral 20Z1 test chassis and see how it looks.

I decided to remove the tuner and mechanism for a more thorough cleaning. I noticed the tuner's solder connections were not factory, so I'm wondering if this tuner was a later upgrade to the fine tuning version.





You need to take care to not lose the 4 little band switch contacts when you separate the tuner from it's mechanism. They set loose on it's top surface, only held in place by the activation mechanism. Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of them when I had them removed for cleaning.
