10KV caps.

[JohnCT]

Progression from first plug in after 4 decades or so:

Had no HV. The main can filter decided to puke it's guts, so I restuffed it. Replace 10KV caps to get a "raster" of sorts:



Found another can getting warm, so restuffed that. Found leaky paper cap in video amp overdriving CRT (no control over brightness). Changed three paper caps and 6S4 vertical output tube gave me more deflection, but not enough. Replaced bypass electro filters to get this:



Connecting RF input and adjusting continuous Mallory inductuner to get to this point where the horiz is out of range:



Found the horiz hold control was wide open in the middle of the range. Surprisingly, the osc still ran. Running some cleaner through it cleared the open spot in the control. A couple of paper caps in the horiz osc gets me here:



Those lines are artifacts are from resizing the image.


Vertical still short, so that's next. Once I get it right, I'll go ahead and do a full recap of all parts that haven't been changed. I've restuffed three cans so far, and will do the rest before putting the chassis back in the cabinet.

Thrilled that the metal cone 16BP4 tube (that had a brightener on it when I found it) is strong. Very slight IF ring/smear as it's tuned, but I haven't touched any IF tubes. Despite that, has a very good picture.
