Well you know what they say: if there ain't no wax under it, there ain't no wax in it.

Er... wait.

I have a question about a cap that is used in this TV. It is C63 and it is listed as a .00025uf 600V cap. The one in the chassis is indeed a .00025uf 600 paper cap. It is used as a Sync Coupling cap. Can I use a 250pf 500V mica cap instead? I can't find this value anywhere in a film capacitor. I've included the area of the schematic that it is used. I would think a mica cap would be better than using a ceramic disc cap.....right?

I would think that a mica cap would work fine in that application.... surprised to see such a small value paper cap.

OK, finished the Horizontal section tonight. Tomorrow I'll power it up and check my progress.

Finished the vertical section today.
When I powered it up I still got good audio but still no video. I then tried direct video injection and after turning the H. Freq. adjustment I got a picture. Things are looking up.

I think I'll do the Video Amp section then roll onto the Audio next.

Completed some of the power supply section and the video amp section. The picture below is direct video injection to the video amp tube. Getting better.
