Admiral 30A15 restoration

[bandersen]

I quickly recapped it in one night.


I later replaced the little selenium rectifier and axial electrolytics on the right side.


I encountered some crumbly rubber insulated wire that had to be replaced. I'd only seen this on late 30s - early 40s Philco radios before.


Rebuilding the power supply/audio amp was easily done by comparing it to another.


First signs of life


First stable image with some horrible horizontal linearity.


The culprit was an open damper resistor. The flyback looks miserable, but it's working just fine


That's better Very bright CRT in this set.
