Default Re: Restorers dream part 2 the chassis.

I've been reading with interest and must say Well Done Colin!!

I hate to disagree with anyone, especially Jeffrey, but I too tend to test after each capacitor and I'm hardly a beginner! You can see the set improve with every capacitor you change and you can see what every capacitor does as well. (Hunts caps it's usually 'falls to bits' but there you go.')

Look also at resistor values here too. They tend to go high. The sawtooth that the frame oscillator should generate should start at the top of the screen and then go down as the voltage increases. It starts near the middle in this case!

Check for dry joints on the tube neck as well.

Cheers,

Steve P.
