Sylvania Halo-vision question

[Tubejunke]

Gosh I hate reading about sets that I remember busting up 25 or more years ago! I scrounged a Halo-light console from our high school electronics class where we had over half of a room full of donated TVs of which I would say a third were 50's sets! There was even a junky Predicta in our storage room that I would tinker with. The Sylvania was probably a good set, but between my lack of skills at the time and my dad always raising hell about a house full of "junk", I used to periodically bust a few sets up to make him happy and make room for more. I still battle the constant need for space to justify bringing home another set! I never could find a taker for my super clean 58 Space Command 24" so I decided to just keep it around till I can take the chassis to the college and break out a Huntington Tracker on the ceramic disc caps. Actually I will take the time to look at ALL caps with the expensive equipment that enables me to look at a wave form of sorts called a "footprint" that tests components IN CIRCUIT! YES! If there is an overlooked bad component, I should be able to sniff it out. Here at home I don't have a scope or a jig to support the big crt while the set is powered up for voltage checks, nor do I have a signal generator to go that route. I am anxious to see how the new equipment serves me on this.
