Looks like all had a swell time at that convention!
Hi Bill,
Thanks for the advice. I did change all the metal canned electrolytics and I have the wrong value resistors in the vertical circuit. I am only having the set powered up for short times til I get set-up to check the 6JE6 current draw. The flyback seems to get very warm but not hot. The width may be effected by a temporary wirewound resistor in place of the horiz centering control that was burned. I have another on the way but I am presently stumped with the low brightness problem. Maybe I'm wrong but I thought since the screen lights up very bright when the power is turned off and the picture goes to vertical lines closing to the center that that would mean the CRT can produce a bright picture. So, I am hoping my CRT is not the cause of low brightness. The CRT tester says 2 guns are weak but even turning up the strong gun seems not too bright. I found about 8volts on pin 2 of the 12BY7 where the Sam's says it should be -5volts. Is that why it's dark? I tried changeing the .1 cap and a couple resistors so could it be the 12BY7? My tube tester is not working.
