My Brand New CTC-7!

[SwizzyMan]

how about 150 for a 160? Other question is how am I going to stack all of these caps together and still have enough length to fit all the leads?

your getting ahead, did you try the 50uf tacked in to see if the can was the problem?

Actually Dave, that can is now getting hot. should I still try the 50uf?

That chroma issue is a result of the chroma reference oscillator being off frequency. ID the chroma osc. coil, insert a plastic diddle stick, with color bar pattern on screen, turn slug in direction that minimizes vertical color stripes, and keep going until bars synch up and each bar has it's own color separate (don't worry if the yellow bar is purple or something like that the hue/tint control should fix that).

[DaveWM]

do the colors work ok with reg programing from a DVD or converter box? or does this only happen with a color bar generator?

[SwizzyMan]

I do not remember it working on tv stations... But that was before I put some caps in the main chassis.

[DaveWM]

before any tweeking you should try it with the video source you plan to be watching, not a color bar generator.

diddle stick drift is a common problem.

Should I try it now even with the filter caps not restuffed?

Sounds like you messed up your doubler wiring. In a doubler circuit at least one cap's can will NOT be grounded, but rather will connect to a wire....Make sure you connect the negative of the replacement to that can wire and not to chassis. Recheck your wiring against the schematic before and after you fix this.

Ok that fixed the picture issue I now have sound but no picture signal from my pattern generator. what is going on now?

[DaveWM]

you prob bumped a tube, wiggle tubes, even if filaments are lighting and esp if not.

[SwizzyMan]

Hmmm didn't do anything...

[Electronic M]

Check your B+ lines. If one that drives the video is out/low that could be the problem.

[DaveWM]

show a video of the problem. include changing channels.
