Default Re: My Bush tv43 restoration

Have you powered up the set yet, you need to establish if the tube has any life in it really before the time effort and money?
Whilst we hear of sucess stories most of the time on the forum, there are a fair percentage of sets that are beyond immediate repair/restoration either because of the tube being flat or a transformer failure or similar. First light is exactly that, getting light on the screen to prove it.
It's quite a fun process waking them up, measuring, smelling, watching,____standing back
I dont wish to sound negative though, you're doing a great job so far.
