Philips G11 Chassis - with a dodgy bodge! - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Hello,

Just recently acquired a Philips G26C 724/01 TV. Very large 26" set with a roller door arrangement! Cabinet in very poor condition. Looking inside revealed the Line timebase panel with a bad burn up.

I have not powered the set up of course. The panel was duly removed and inspected to reveal a very nasty bodge "repair".. The large 0.47uF capacitor was in a very sorry state as was another (7500nf 2000v @16khz) which had bulging sides. The 0.91Uf capacitor looked fine however.- but needs to be changed - just in case. Can anyone advice where to get replacements for these 3 items ?

The set had not failed, no fuses blown and the line output Transistor (not a BU208A incidentally, its a 2SD350A) tested ok.

The line panel has now been cleaned up, lots of excess flux and solder removed.

CRT seems ok on my tester so there's a chance to get a decent picture.

A good subsitute would be the Wima FKP series.
