Back to the VT-71H

[Chris K]

I give up. It's going back on the shelf again. All thumbs with the oscilloscope. Grounded to B- and the TV plugged into an isolation transformer, I get no signal off pin 5 of the video amp despite getting audio off pin 6. I've tried 4 different tubes, all tested good. I clip on the probe and the auto-read function gives me nothing...no signal. Before anyone wastes their time trying to help me go further with this, I'm going to put it up on the shelf and start working on something else. I wish there were some gurus around Philadelphia who would take it on and get it running for me. Tim and Chuck A. are in Northern NJ but I really don't know of anyone else who would be able to fix this and Chuck keeps his contact information very private as he should. I was so impressed with his take on the business of restoration during the February online meeting. Bob A.'s too! Anyway, thanks to everyone who tried to help this clumsy novice through this. Sorry if I frustrated you.
