Packard Bell 17VT1

[Winky Dink]

Will wonders never cease? I got all the parts in the right places, and it works with a DVD player. I positioned the yoke retainer, yoke, and ion trap according to the dirty/clean lines on the neck, and the centering magnets according to my earliest photos. Beyond that I only had to adjust the outside controls and figure out that the DVD input plays on channel 13.

This is my setup: Isolation transformer, variac, chassis, CRT, mirror. A couple of questions on this photo.
1. This doesn't have a rubber cup guarding the anode connection. Is this unusual?
2. What is this chain for?



I posted a short video on Flickr. It only works for me when I start my computer. Then, after one or two plays it won't work until I restart the computer. Maybe it'll work for you.

I took a couple of screen shots this morning.





I'll try connecting an antenna, but as it stands this is a gratifying success for me. Thanks for all the help that made it work. If you can guess both films you get extra credit.
