'60's Sylvania tube color console from SC
I finally got around to testing the Sylvania color tube console that I brought back from SC. When I first opened it, the convergence components were disconnected, dismounted, and laying inside the TV. I found a broken plastic piece from the convergence clover that prevents me from being able to secure it to the CRT neck. Hopefully, I can JB weld it back together. Also, it looks like one of the adjustable inductors on the convergence board is broken off.
I decided to test it anyway and got sound but no HV. Upon looking closer, I discovered that the damper tube is missing, DUH! From what I can see of the tube chart, it looks like it takes a 6CE3. I did check the CRT and it is still strong; so, that's a good thing. The only identification I could find was the model number, which is CA-LC32K. Unfortunately, this model is not listed in the Sams index. If I knew the chassis number, I might be able to find it that way. This is the first Sylvania tube set that I've ever worked on. I wonder how the picture will be on this TV in comparison to an RCA or Zenith. My theory is that this set had issues with the convergence and, for what ever reason, the repair shop sat it back. Then, the shop probably needed the damper tube for another set. Unlike most of what I find, this chassis looks fairly clean and doesn't look to have been ran into the ground. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
