GE 9T001. Hotpoint 9S101 - retrace lines

[JerryR]

Yes the brightness or contrast affect the picture - I'm getting audio, I'm just using a set of rabbit ears at this time. Would our outdoor antenna be better?

Hi Jerry,

The set should produce a good pic with few/no retrace lines in under most conditions.

It definitely needs a strong signal, i checked one of my sets and as soon as the signal drops off the retrace lines pop up, the switch next to the antenna terminals is a local/distant switch, it should be set to distant if you're in a weak signal area.

Also the brightness needs to be kept low.

You didn't mention if you've done any work to these sets?
Usually replacing the capacitors is the minimum they will need to work right, also the horiz afc double diode is always bad on these (it's Selenium but can be replaced with two ordinary Silicone diodes)

Wonder if GE will still honor the CRT recall and replace my CRT?
This set is using a rejuvenated tube.
(The pic looks better than the actual picture on the set!)

Hey Folks, Pete here. Got this neat little T.V. - GE 9" TV Model 9T001/2 - and I am in need of the centering ring assembly for the yoke or maybe it just slides on the neck of the tube with springs, I don't know. I spent about four days cleaning the goop out of it. Recapped most of it and did a double restore on the pix tube and it is working rather well, considering. Now all I need to do is get the pix centered and it's good to go ! ! ! Any help and/or suggestions from you folks would be a great help. Pete . . God Bless . . . . [email protected]
