Yet another Predicta Holiday restoration

[Down Under]

Hi guys,

I have a Holiday that I'll start working on soon, the metal work is at the electroplaters and the original CRT (21EAP4) luckily has good emission. Although I used a far more clunky method to repair my 17 inch Predictas, I have ordered a set of grasp type test clips like those used on the CR-70 CRT tester. The ones you use when you don't have a socket to fit the CRT.

I'm planning on connecting wires with alligator clips to them. The idea is so that I can easily power and test a recapped Predicta board before desoldering it back onto the chassis. The grasp clip end attaches to the terminal posts on the board, and the alligator clip end connects to the (now floating) wires on the chassis.

For the less experienced like me, it seems like a good way to go, especially to save the trouble of removing the board a second time to tweak something after it's been soldered in.

Hope this helps someone!

Cheers,

Adam
