1968 RCA BW Sportabout 19"

[DavGoodlin]

I got this neat-O classic off Craigslist along with a 1985 Colortrak 19" and a rolling stand that was from something else.
TV Tim has dibs on the Colortrak (works fine- its a CTC120!) and stand which sort-of fits it.




Its a KCS 160E model AJ-080 - "The Heralder". The tubes all tested OK except for the 5KE8. Only the 15KY8 appears to be a replacement.

But... heres what I got after a long and slow power-up. The signal stages are not working either, sound is just sweep-noise and static.
The brightness is at 50 % but blooms it away if turned up, so HV is likely very low.




Im afraid its the yoke and I'll check it on my Sencore VA-48 but I figured Id post here in hopes of a better opinion
