Default Re: Tandberg Huldra 8 valve failure

Forgive me if this has already been tried Clive but have you tried measuring the resistance across C702?

You may need to leave the meter connected for 20/30 seconds and watch the resistance rise as the meter voltage slowly charges the capacitor. This will generally mean that the capacitor is good.

Then again you may find that the reading stays very low and does not climb, this would indicate a short circuit somewhere on the HT +ve rail, it could be something as simple as a decoupling capacitor inside the set that has gone short to being a trapped HT cable between the chassis.

Cheers
