Help needed on Admiral 21D1 chassis tv

[init4fun]

Hi Bill ,

Any time I've run into intermittent problems after a total recap , It's always traced back to cruddy tube socket contact with one or more tube's pins . A miswiring wouldn't come and go , so I doubt you've got anything connected wrong , but "fuzzy" tube pin connections can most certainly come and go , especially as the chassis heats during operation .

I wonder also , if the heat applied by the soldering iron when replacing components is enough to bake on some of the more persistent crud , thus making it even harder for the tube's pin(s) to make contact ?

Any potentiometers would probablly be suspect , as well ........
