admiral 24c15 with 20b1 chassis attempt at restore

[fumplet]

I really do need a readable schematic. I think I got mine off the etf but I cant seem to download new eyeballs to read it.
Wow! In beginners guide to tv restoration part 4, I noticed your ion trap, the screws are totally horizontal. Mine are not! Different picture tube maybe, Makes me wonder if My ion trap is way out of adjustment. For the pie dual 40 micro farad caps I used 47uf at 450 volts.

For your re cap do it one stage at a time. Recheck as you go every few caps.
Order is: power supply - HV & horz - vert - then the rest......
Many sets never work again after a re cap so go slow.

47 mfd is fine for 40's. Off the shelf caps come in 1, 2.2, 3.3, 4.7
10, 22, 33, 47 etc. SO use a little higher in mfd, voltage & heat.
Tolerance is high ( 20%) anyhows.

good luck
