'74 Chromacolor II Overload

[zeno]

First there are 2 versions of the ##EC45 Look for the run ## inked on chassis.

Under run 401 they used 5 identical caps ( part ## 22-5001) from the HOT
C to E. NEVER run set with them unhooked. They could open or short. If
they are white they HAVE to go. Orange Sprague ones are good.

Run ##401 and higher. The 5 caps are gone & replaced with the infamous
4 lead cap. Kit part ## 800-860. Again white ones MUST go, orange
are OK.

Usually a dead 130 V short gives a loud hum & breaker pop in seconds.
An overload gives less hum & a slow breaker pop. Usually its the trippler.
Just unhook the input to test.

Last thing is the motor cap. They are going left & right now. Usually the sets been restored but it shorts in a few days. To test lift one end & try it.

gotta go cook.
good luck Zeno
