Crosley 9-403M Restoration

[Crist Rigott]

After carefully checking my work and a good look see. I powered it up. First without the LV rectifier tubes, then with them but no H. Osc tube. All went well. Then all the tubes and my test CRT.

I got a raster and clear but faint sound. I tried twiddling all the controls but I couldn't get the horizontal to lock.

Then I installed the CRT that came with the set. Works great! A little too much light in my shop to really check for that purple glow. I'll do that tonight.

I switched over to FM, then screen went blank but I couldn't get any signals.

Overall I'm happy so far. BTW, the sound was very quiet. No hum or hash.

Later on after I check the CRT again, I'll start on the recap.
