Default Re: Stuck on a BRC 1400!

Been playing around with the frame cramp this evening. Capacitors seem in perfect condition with the correct capacity and no leakage with the megger. Decided to adjust the two picture shuffle rings on the neck of the tube and this has helped a bit after then playing with the height and linearity controls. I have lowered the picture about half an inch and centred the horizontal scan and the picture looks better and the frame linearity has improved. There is now only a slight linearity issue but that is only the top pointing up arrow on test card C is longer than the bottom pointing down one. The rest of test card C is correct. I think I will leave it at that.

This set has a Cathodeon CRT fitted and looks good other than a few scratches on the tube faceplate. The aquadag coating has wrinkled on the lower side of the CRT bowl but hasn’t flaked off.
