One more thing: Your going to have to go through every capacitor in that set. I advise getting an ESR meter and adding that to your collection of electronics testing gear. it pays for itself in notime.

Ok, a set this old, the elecrolytics are going to dry up. I had to recap my entire video signal board before mine would even show a picture!. then while i was in there, i went ahead and did up the power supply and HV sweep modules. I found the picture framer board quite annoying, so i unhooked it.

I guess I am lucky, but all 3 CRTs are very strong in mine. Although, the red CRT appears to show a "raster with retrace" even with the filiments unlit and disconnected. and also some purplish blue is seen on the clear spot of the neck, so its probably getting gassy, however once the tube filiments heat up, picture is nice strong and crisp, so it does have some life left.

also its intriguing to know that theres another individual out there with this projector. ive been fighting a monologues battle with mine. hehe.
