Teletone verticle size

[Kamakiri]

There is no separate listing for the 208R, only the TV208 and the TV208TR. Have you looked at both Sams? If not, I should have both.

I've got a pristine folder 95-6 if you still need it.

Cheers,

I didn't actually look at the 208 tr but the 208 I did . I read a post on antique radio I think it was and someone there had the same problem with or without the ballast. Well maybe it is the 208 tr until I could see some of it I will know. If someone could show me a part of it I will know if it's the one, thanks

Your set is probably wired for the ballast. I've seen it a bunch of times some tubes and or ballasts fail, the owner pulls the tubes to test looses them and years later some dope randomly sticks any old tubes in the sockets hoping to make it look better or work. Pull the chassis and carefully compare to both versions.

[timmy]

This has a 6x5 in the place where the ballast would be and it has 2 resistors wired in and they are old original and they are the ones that are in the ballast in the other set that has one. Besides mine has 2 12sn7 for vert amp and multi the other 208 has a 6sl7 . But overall I recapped it and has great sound and picture from the little I can see the vert height or size there is only one pot is maxed and it's only about 2 inches it won't fill the screen. So I need the SAMs to check voltages to see what's going on in the verticle, it would help as now Im done aside from checking resistors which I did changed a few in the verticle and it improved very little.

It's vertical!

[timmy]

Well all the crazy things about these teletone tvs I had pulled a 6sl7 out of the vert amp but the tube lineup on the cabinet showed a 12sn7 belongs there so again there are so many differences with these because I put the 6sl7 back in and the verticle is fixed. So maybe it is infact a 208tr but without the ballast.

Does anyone know if there is a retrace mod out there for the teletone 208 tr. most pin 3 of the 7jp4 go to ground but the teletone goes to DC restoration.

[timmy]

I need to find the values for the Micas in the verticle and the 208 don't show what I have and the 149 shows Micas but Alittle different wiring and shows 5000 pf but I can't be sure if this is the correct value or not. Maybe the 208tr is the one I'm looking for, would anyone post the 208tr or sell me a print but I would like to know if this is what I need for sure.

The value of the micas are most likely right. If you don't know how to read them here are 2 sites you can get info on how to read them. http://radioremembered.org/capcode.htm and http:www.tpub.com/neets/book2/3g.htm there were 2 other sites but they are now porno! All the best, Tom

[timmy]

Is there a way I can get some idea what the value is on this resistor which the center seems to have got hot and the color is gone. The first is brown and the last looks like it was brown but the middle I just don't know. The end dot looks to have a spec of brown left to suggest, brown, blank, brown.

What does the schematic identify it as?

That's just the problem, there is no schematic due to last minute changes in production back in the day and comparing close schematics don't help.

Timmy, are you sure it is a resistor? I've never seen a mica mold resistor. If this is your TELE-TONE, determine what tube element the part ties to on both ends. Me thinks it is a cap. All the best,Tom

That's what I was alluding to in my post. If timmy could have found where he pulled it from on a schematic, he would have discovered that.
