You don't have the Sams? Do you know what number it is? Perhaps one of us has it.

You know there is? I assumed that if that fuse was bad, that the set would do absolutely nothing. Checked the fuse. Yep, it's bad!

Put a new fuse in, but it changed nothing. Excellent call, though

This is the one:

Might just as well spend the $15, if nobody happens to have it handy....

I think the schematic would be something worth getting at this point, for sure.
It's not hotplating, if that's what you mean.....

And yep, gonna definitely need a schematic now.

I will check tomorrow. Just might have it. It's a real bitch trying to chase down a problem without a Sams.

Yes. I assumed you would have told us if it was red plating, anyway.

You'll get it going!

I pretty much have to now!

I knew there'd be a little adversity with it, though. After all, the best laid plans of mice and men......

Tim, I found the paperwork on your set. I am going to start scanning the pages. PM me with your email address and I will send these to you when I finish.

Back on this set for a bit. No HV, so I have a pair of 5642s on order. We'll see what happens next

Had a little time to stick in the 5642s tonight. Powered it up, and got a faint line on the raster

The line faded out after about 10 seconds of play. Shut it down, power it up, same thing. I've got 2.5 kV to the picture tube at this point, and I don't hear the horizontal oscillator running. Hm.

Hm, good question. I'll check later today. My only concern is that when I removed the NOS tubes out of the boxes, the glass on the single wire end on each was broken, only about 1mm worth, and not into the vacuum portion of the tube. Still....

I always saw those tubes packed real well. A GT sized carton and the tube wrapped in Kimpack .
