Ok I quit pushing it.. Immediately stopped what I was doing; walked away for while
took a break before starting a fire:thumbsdn
Me and Danny from Atlanta..who's folks were the RCA
Dealer starting 1954 sell these sets to the wealthy..he answered my add for a correct hand remote
from one someone traded in..he kept the remote from that one...over the years...from phone conversations..i described what was bugging me with my 7...with new tranny and power supply short
in about an hour or so time we had it licked..i accidently crossed color coded
wire in the Primary;for which i feel so stupid
for doing it wrong..gladly NOT Blowing up my NOS power tranny.."I'm so glad i had a Variac to work with
"that prevented any damage to it; he had ask me to unhook the transformer from the set..and we step by step redid the install over the phone..with great success
plug in 2 tubes to see if i had good heater voltage with the Variac that was also a great victory
this set i found out that some old local techy tried to
run this 7 without the remote chassis hooked together..YOU CAN"T DO THAT!
because of its design it has to go through the remoter 1st in order to power up..yes it was left plugged in years ago and struck by lighting
and also by a so called know it all idiot
he the unknown old techy tried to by pass it;reset up it like a "Anderson 7" is set up probably why the owner gave up and bought a new set..leaving this one setting up in their front living room all these years until they passed away..till I purchased it..
now I'm on our way to reverse the old problems with your very knowlegeable
kind help
to save a very rare color set from the 50's..I'm NOT letting its problems beat me up
I'm learning anew..afresh and will help
someone else in the near future if another turns up..I'll keep you folks inform on this set as i go..again thanks
