Well after I go thru the filter caps and find screws for all the boards I will need to go thru the screeen setup notes to set the various pots.
I did not check all the caps in the horz part of the deflection board (since it seemed to be working), prob should have.
This always happens, I get a set that I think is a basket case so I dont want to invest a lot of energy in it, then they keep surprizing me by starting to work better and better. My 1st TV was that old B&W maggie console, I swear I kept hoping it would not work so I could just give up and take the horn speakers (the only reason I got it at the time, it was another freebee), then next thing you know its working great.
Not complaining mind you, just an observation of how its been going lately. No tough dogs since that darn hula (bad filament ground on vert sweep board). The way this one turned out is just fine, and a good motivater to get back on those other big consoles.
I sometimes think I really would have enjoyed owning a tv shop back in the 50's-70's just born about 20yrs too late. Geez how great it must have been to actually be able to just order up some parts from a jobber and have them delivered the next day, or get a rebuilt tube or new CRT.
Better late than never, glad I got into this hobby and found the forum
