Westinghouse TV no picture : Strip or fix?

Well then maybe my .0547 cap is screwing things up a little.
This could well be the problem to. The BB cap was way off value. And I think was also leaky.


For just testing. Would two .01mfd caps in series work as the .0047 just to see if it helps.

I have two .01's on hand.

Go ahead, that should be much closer than what you currently have.

So
I HAVE PICTURE, I HAVE PICTURE!!

Yes I'm not lieing. My .01 .01 series cap did the trick.
But as for the picture being perfect I wouldn't say it is exactly perfect.
Seems like its not vivid enough. Sharp enough. Contrast or something..
I'll play with it some more.

Also the tubes. They get hot right?(normally) Because always after a minute or two I smell the burning hot smell from the heating tubes. And I just wanna be told that's normal. (They're not glowing red)

It finally works

and I couldn't of done it without AK
Thanks guys
