GE M935AWL restoration

Interesting. They are only in the VHF tuner.

Gave the chassis a good look over and found no more problems. Crazy how pristine it is. Really want to minimize replacing parts.


Here it is after a bit of cleaning. Axial electrolytic and two white ElMenco caps have been replaced. Also replaced the thermistor.
Will resume trying to reform the original caps with a slow power up.

Just for assurances, we always changed the cap that couples the drive from the horizontal oscillator plate to the HOT grid. Saves tubes, prevents callbacks, and extends flyback life. Any good brand polypropylene cap of same value voltage will do. This goes for any RCA or RCA clone set like yours.

A last thought on breakers. We used mallorys. Had a complete
line of single & doubles. There was also a sub book. I bet
its out there.
