Siemens Bildmeister FC 399

[dr.ido]

It's road side rubbish collection time again here, and that means more TVs. So far this is the only one worth mentioning.

A Siemens Bildmeister FC 399 26" delta gun. Picked it up just in time before the heavy rain hit. The control panel has been pushed into the cabinet, but otherwise it's in reasonable condition at least physically. Briefly powered it up this morning and it's horizontal output stage squealed at me in protest (it doesn't like being awoken at 5:00am anymore than I do).

The horizontal output transistor is intact, so my first guess would be the tripler, though I've yet to investigate further. The green tripler appears to be a replacement type that I've often found bad in various other sets.



Plenty of dust and crud. A couple of boards are looking a bit crispy. The CRT is an RCA A67-150X. The back cover has a little flap to access the convergence controls without removing it.
