I would assume that would be why there is problems, each cap in those cans you restuffed needs to have the negative leads connected to ground, as in metal of chassis, unless those cans are isolated... What I would do is connect all neg leads from each cap in each can together soldered, and run a wire soldered to them to a spot on the chassis that already has a cut out where ground leads are already solder too...

That is what I have done the cap leads were not long enough so I soldered some excess capacitor leads to the neg leads and then soldered that wire to a ground tab

I have asked for pictures of the work done, I can't help you as I can't follow your written response. You need to get a pic of the work done on the cans.

also if you are getting a rastor the work is prob ok.

That being the case you need to confirm you have the tuner hooked up right (leads connected etc...) you should try an alternate source of RF.

from the looks of it I would guess an incorrectly hooked up ant lead or maybe an RF tube. did you wiggle that one in the tuner?

at what point did you lose the video signal?

its hard to tell whats going on with the caps even with the pics.


make sure you ant connections are good from the ant term block back to the tuner. Did you wiggle the RF tube in the tuner?

lost the signal after a few seconds of having it on for the first time. Wiggled the tubes helped a bit not much though
