OK I will rant or as we say piss & moan.
Some may remember here a Maggy SS console with a blown HOT.
Walked him through the simple process & no joy.
He had spent the time fretting over a color issue it had before
but he had no HV yet ! Next go around he played in the HV but
followed no advice. That set never got fixed & it was a simple design
to deal with

Next not really a rant but advice for newbees. Learn the block diagram
for a B&W TV then get a raster. From there troubleshoot ONE thing
at a time. Even on elderly sets dont do a wholesale cap change.
Do a few at a time & learn as you go. And how many times have we
read "I just did a recap & now it dont work". Most of those dont get fixed either.

enuf fer now
LFOD !
