Dieseljeep, you are right about the higher voltage tubes failing more often.
I used to amaze customers of series string sets when I would get the set working after subbing only one tube: the damper. Dampers just took a beating and failed at a high rate. |

Also found damper most likely followed by a tuner tube. For the tuner part of string find the brown wire ( most sets ). Never did a jug on a PC. Only ones changed were under warranty. GE had a way of "pouring" parts into a set without a care in the world that someone would have to fix it some day. When the started building some great stuff they were soon gone......... 73 Zeno LFOD ! |

The only reason B/W sets were recommended was to get your trouble shooting skills up to speed. I have several B/W sets, but if the program is in color, I prefer to see it in color. When I first working on TV's, I never seen a color set, except in the stores and there was seldom anything on in color. The B/W pictures on the color sets didn't compare with the pictures on the B/W sets of the day. I'm surprised that they sold as many sets as they did.

My newest arrival, courtesy of another member here. I’ll post pics of my parts set when I’ve cleared a path to it.

'That's the hi-voltage focus model, HE chassis. Probably that last of the production run. I have two of this model. I didn't change the boost filter caps in my two yet. .1 mfd @ 1000 volts. It's located on the side of the HV cage, instead of the PC board, like the earlier models.

I haven't tried my PC's in a few years. I just fired up one of my later models and it looks pretty good. AFAIC, it's still better than watching B/W. The sound is better than many of the small import solid state sets. |

I like the cabinets on the later ones. Looks like it should be solid state...lol

I know of two CRTs for the Porta Color sets: 11SP22 and 11WP22. Was there a third CRT used in these sets?

Where in NW Indiana are you located? The tube compliment is about the same as the older models with maybe a few changes, HV rectifier etc. CRT is designated under the newer standards, 10V. IIRC, 10VABP22A. |
