Reconnect C13, cross all fingers and toes and switch on.

Come on Chris. Now let's see the picture on it!

Top Cap · 11th Apr 2010, 6:03 pm

I have my bible in my hands while I concentrate on silent prayer

oldticktock · 11th Apr 2010, 6:05 pm

Honest guys I have a tear in my eye and went goosy.

The picture does not show but it has staright lines filling entire screen black white black white etc

so is this a raster yet?

I always remember what Graham said once a post goes past 10 pages its usually a gonna, this hit 18 and I was thinking ......

PJL · 11th Apr 2010, 6:08 pm

Fantastic! That looks really good...there are going to be more caps to do I suspect.

I am going to take an intermission (go fix a Laney) so I'll pass on the baton.

Lloyd 1985 · 11th Apr 2010, 6:08 pm

I'm pretty sure that qualifies as a raster!! congratulations

regards,
Lloyd.

Boom · 11th Apr 2010, 6:10 pm

Well done Chris

Top Cap · 11th Apr 2010, 6:12 pm

Fantastic Chris . too much midnight oil burning but we have all been there, do you see any speckles when changing channels?

oldticktock · 11th Apr 2010, 6:14 pm

I will go one better than that, and i hear the tone

Heatercathodeshort · 11th Apr 2010, 6:15 pm

Oh my Gawd! A raster! That sacrificial burning of my TV63 must have done the trick!
A lot learned here I think and a lesson to everyone contemplating their first TV repair/restoration. Success Chris and you should have some form of picture on the set now. Regards, John.

Just seen it! Turn height down and adjust vertical [frame] hold. It should lock if everything is in place.

Top Cap · 11th Apr 2010, 6:15 pm

Set up the frame hold, looks almost there

oldticktock · 11th Apr 2010, 6:23 pm

cannot figure out how to get left and top bars to match bottom and right, round bit is squished.

Heatercathodeshort · 11th Apr 2010, 6:26 pm

Great! You need to centre the picture with the device mounted at the rear of the scan coils on the tube neck. Its the picture centreing magnet.

oldticktock · 11th Apr 2010, 6:28 pm

Will that hurt me with regards getting a belt don't like putting hands in live sets, not done that before without a broom stick size probe

I can see the jobby it has two screw types each side and one centre one

Heatercathodeshort · 11th Apr 2010, 6:28 pm

It has a knob on the end and by turning twisting the whole assembly around the neck and turning the knob at the same time you will be able to centre the picture vertically and horizontally. If the brightness drops, don't worry at this stage. J.
No, just take care and if your concerned put on a latex glove or just a plastic bag! Your hand that is.

oldticktock · 11th Apr 2010, 6:31 pm

I've got my marigolds I was keeping that a secret in case you all laughed, been using them when I pull valves out....

Heatercathodeshort · 11th Apr 2010, 6:33 pm

The slight 'cogging' of the picture will probably clean up when you have replaced C39 .1uf on the receiver unit but don't worry about that yet. J.

Heatercathodeshort · 11th Apr 2010, 6:34 pm

Come on lads! Say something! This is all too much...Ha! Ha!

Heatercathodeshort · 11th Apr 2010, 6:37 pm

Don't confuse with the ion trap magnet mounted close to the tube base. J.

Lloyd 1985 · 11th Apr 2010, 6:46 pm

thats fantastic that you'vegot a picture on it at last!! well done

i've thought of one other thing, maybe the slight cogging onthe picture is caused by it not quite being tuned in, I had the same on mine, a slight sound on vision when it was just off tune. also happened on my philips 1708u too.

regards,
Lloyd.
