Default Re: HMV 900 TV restoration.

Hi David.
The cabinet is coming together now very nicely.
I will need to start on the chassis soon now that it is here. I have looked at the power supply and see that the EHT smoothing capacitor has exploded, it will be an easy re-stuff though with a modern cap. This made me check the EHT winding on the transformer and unfortunately it is o/c. I intend to strip the full chassis and clean the metal work in acid or get my friend to sand blast it, this will be done while the transformer is being re-wound.
I think my progress will be slower as I have limited space and a few things to complete firstly.
