| I KNOW THIS PIC ISN'T THE GREATEST. THIS WAS ONE OF TWO RECTIFIER DIODES IN THE LOW VOLTAGE POWER SUPPLY. THEY BOTH SHORTED OUT AND WIPED OUT THE VOLTAGE DOUBLER CAP. THE CAP LET LOOSE AND WHITE SMOKE CAME POURING OUT. I REPLACED THESE AND THE CAP. A LINE FUSE WAS ADDED. THE SET NOW SITS ELEVATED TO GET BETTER VENTILLATION. THE FINE TUNING CAM WAS FROZEN. I WAS ABLE TO FREE IT UP AND NOW IT WORKS PROPERLY. THIS TURNED OUT TO BE A DECENT PERFORMER. | |||||||||||
| I WILL WAIT TO STRIP AND REFINISH THE CABINET. AND NOW, AS YOU MIGHT HAVE EXPECTED, ANOTHER DELIGHTFUL SCREEN SHOT. | |||||||||||

| 18 FEB 2008. THE OTHER NIGHT, AS I WAS ENJOYING M*A*S*H ON DVD (THE HELL WITH SYNDICATION), THE VERTICAL COLLAPSED. I OPENED IT UP THIS EVENING AND FOUND A 0.001 CAP DEAD SHORTED. THIS GOES FROM THE PLATE OF THE VERTICAL OUTPUT TO THE CONTROL GRID OF THE VERTICAL OSCILLATOR. WHEN I RECAPPED THE SET, I USED A CAP RATED AT 630 VOLTS. I MISREAD THE VOLTAGE RATING ON THE CAP THIS REPLACED. THE PRINT CALLS FOR A 1600 VOLT CAP. I WILL REPLACE IT WITH ONE OF THE PROPER VOLTAGE RATING. SINCE I HAVE IT OPENED UP. I WILL CLEAN THE TUNER AND CONTROLS. THE LOCAL/DISTANT SWITCH HAS PROVEN PROBLEMATIC. I WILL CLEAN IT AGAIN. AS SOON AS I GET THE CAP I NEED, I WILL POST MORE PICS. 1 MAR 2008. I REPLACED THE BAD CAP AND THE SET IS WORKING AGAIN. |
