Hallicrafters T-54 Restoration

[Einar72]

I got my HV coupling caps around 1987 at a hamfest in Tacoma, Washington. They were, I was told, from Tektronix' "candy store". They are marked TRW, since that batch was made prior to AmShizCo acquiring Ogallala operations...

Love to get one of those to go with my SX-101, HT-32, HT-33 and SX-42, even though I don't have enough desk space to set up what I have, LOL!

Finally got to finishing replacing all of the paper and electro caps in this set, including the ones under the HV area.

The TV works pretty good with 2 issues:

1) The raster comes up pretty quick but it is blank and there is no sound. Then after 3-4 minutes the image and sound start working.

2) The horizontal sync is a little messed up, see attachment. It is a little jittery and the picture is "jagged" See what I mean by looking at the number 87 on the screen.

What do you guys think to check? The tubes have been tested good in a tester.


PS, I never figured out if that loose wire I mentioned previously in the thread should be connected to anything. Looking at the schematic and based on other members replies it should not be there.
