RA-103 Focus Rheostat Search

[Chris K]

Cool info Tom and Bob!

I finally found the relay answer I was looking for earlier and it's installed and working properly. Now, I have a short I need to run down. As soon as the relay kicks in, my isolation transformer breaker pops. I'll spend a few hours checking the recap and seeing if in moving things around, I crossed any bare leads. After that, I think I'm back to square one...the schematic and checking components. Bummer!

Same problem. Buy Surplus Sales rheostat and just extended shaft
using J&B Weld. [cotton thread soaked in J&B, wrap around splice,
let set up -- cut extension to correct length from junk shaft]. Has worked for on my TV 12 for over a decade.
I even have an extra SS pot as I keep a spare.
