They just dont make them like this anymore, its such a shame to hear about one that gets trashed.

I dont get why people dont do the tinest bit of research to find out that the set is fixable. I had a conversation the other day with a younger person, when I told her the CRT could make a very nice pic, she was skeptical, I explained that indeed some CRTs made late in the 90's may have been garbage (by design IMHO to help sell the upcoming flat screens) but these old sets make for a very nice picture when setup right. Plus I could care less about most current programming (except for sports) so I dont really need all the whiz bang aspect ratios etc... anyway enough rambling got to go get ready for RTV tonight. |

a few more. I have tried it at as low as 105vac, loses some vert height. 110-115 is fine and where I would like to operate it just to reduce heat.
these are after the purity setup |

It was a tedious job to change that. People would not spend the funds on an old set. |

you are right andy, I just like to make sure its working. I still has the orig diode pack, and I think there maybe one of those cap tube caps. I just cant remember now. If there is a white cap it will get replaced, but I will leave the Se diode pack in as long as its working.
It will prob be a while before I pull the CRT for cat removal. Waiting for warmer weather. Around here the summers get so Hot I am betting that a few hours in the sun will allow it to pop right off. |

NOS 6C9 in the tuner seems to have resolved my FM distance issue. There is one station that I like that was just not quite making it (the MPX would drop out depending on where you stood). The new tube does not have that issue.
I did not bother to test just did a sub. |

loving this set, but something I dont understand, If I watch it everyday, the CRT comes up to full brightness in what would be considered a normal time (about as long as it takes for the HV to come up), However, if I dont turn it on over a period of days there is a delay in full brighntess. The screen comes up but its quite dim, it takes a few minutes, but then back to normal.
Was wondering if anyone else has expereinced this? the CRT did test weak when I 1st got the set, I have not checked it since I got it up and running. I am of course assuming its the CRT and not some other fault. |

Probably cathode contamination. The contaminates settle on the cathodes after sitting a while, and take some time to burn off when you turn it back on.

The CRT might still be a bit de-activated from sitting. With use, they sometimes "wake up" a bit. Or, the CRT may be getting a little soft and needs time to warm up. I have one like that but the picture is great after about 5 minutes. The tube also tests good, but not as good as some of my other ones. Did you try the 8v heater method to wake it up?
Hey Nick, didn't mean to repeat what you said, we were posting at the same time
