Dean stopped by last weekend, and I finally have a nice Quasar II with the TS-934 chassis. Thanks again Dean!
It came in with no sound, no vertical sweep, and a dim picture. The set appeared to be complete with all the original parts, and looked like it had sat in its unworking state for years!
The crt only needed a slight rejuve and clean to peg the meters, so all was good there. Next, the 6CW5 had pretty much gone to air, and was now functioning as a flashcube so that got replaced. (The picture of it is right after installing the vert out tube and before the rejuv,) (it showed some smear)
The set now displayed an excellent picture, but had no sound whatsoever. That was traced to an open PNP driver transistor in the BA module.
After doing those repairs and some adjustments, it works great now. That is, until the caps on the vertical module start to fail! And we all know they will..
I watched All In The Family on it tonight for 1/2 hour. It worked great, but I don't want to push it until that module is recapped.
