Default Re: Murphy V410 TV

Very good quality TV. Very popular and it is a lot easier to service than it appears at first sight.

Ha! Ha1, I'm surprised you fell for the back puzzle. The V510 has the same arrangement! The Murphy 'Service News' shows pictures of 'hatches' that had been cut in cabinets to gain access to the valves!

Chassis is bolted with large thumb screws to CRT assembly and yes, watch those caps as Frank has mentioned. Complete lack of sound, vision, or both were common when they went O/C. Tube is Mazda CME1702 and on the whole had a good life. The LOPTs were always an expensive pain. John.
