Default Bush TV32

Hi All,

Does anyone know what power settings are for the TV32? As usual all the labels are long gone. Currently connected to C&D as per the photo. Probably correct but want to make sure before power up for the first time in decades!

TIA.

Andy

Hi Stephen

Thanks. I already have that. It doesn't appear to show what the settings are though from what I can see.

On a lot of sets the mains tap info is missing so I take the tube base off and stick the AVO across the heater pins and adjust the mains tapping for 0 3 amps ac and for the HT set tge selector to give the correct HT on the line.

Looking at that TV32 service data, the list of connections is on page 6 in the bottom left-hand corner.

Hi again,

The thermistor in this Tv seems to be toast. At room temperature it reads at 17K. after several minutes in contact with the soldering iron it drops to 2.5K and doesn't drop any lower.

In comparison the thermistor in my Bush TV 62 reads about 900 Ohms at room temperature as a comparison.

Any suggestions as to what I can do to replace the thermistor, obviously replacements of this type are long gone. Until I can find a solution I cannot proceed with this TV repair which is a bit frustrating..

I have posted in the parts wanted section.

TIA

Andy
