Another new find! jeez. RCA Victor

no idea, how do I find this?

Also, i changed the damper, nothing, but it wasnt quite the same tube.

I still have all the original tags to it. Service tags, and the store advertising tags
LOL. they were inside.



no metal CRT, and I already pulled the yoke. The two peices (yoke and PM magnet for focus/center) have already seperated.

Well, im reading 20 volts on the plate of the h output tube. That has to have something to do with it. I used the chassis as a ground on the meter.

Also, there is no volts anywhere on the CRT socket except the filiment and about another 20 volts on the red wire.


hmm, sounds like bad ballast resistors. It has excellent sound fedelity, and im picking up channels with the internal antenna in the basement! So, its got great IF and tuner stages, so it has to have B+ somewhere.

its loosing the supply for the deflection circuits. There is no vertical out either. There definatly is no horizontal out, with a 20 volt B+, I think hardly.

The only thing I can figure, there is a shorted electro, so when someone plugged it in, it burnt the ballast resistors. (wherever they are, dunno without sams).

Gonna have to change caps, no other way around it. Back to raising funds.

I do not have SAMS 346. Can anybody else help out.

Mike:

What is the chassis number of your set? The yoke is probably fine, that plastic housing often goes bad but the yoke will still work. I doubt if that chassis has ballast resistors. Some of the RCA had those long resistors that mounted to the inside of the chassis and had several taps. Perhaps one of those opened. BTW, I wouldn't measure the plate voltage on the horizontal output tube but rather the grid voltages.

yea, well, on my emerson from along time ago, I had one go bad, and it dropped my plate voltage.

When its normal, it overloads my meter.

there aint even any voltages on the CRT gun. only filiment. So, somethings up.
