Capacitor restuffing
hi
this is main filter capacitors restuffing on an old battered high hours TV the tv is a "Ponto azul" wich is a Portuguese knock-off of Blaupunkt it is an all vacuum tube black and white set with a 110ยบ crt i dont have a schematic but i managed to ressurect this old gem it had a bad flyback high voltage winding and i replaced it with one from an American Tv that i bought off ebay. the high voltage is a bit low due to the different HV winding and the picture blooms when the brightness is maxed out, the crt has a burn in the center but it is still good to watch some movies. the linearity and h-size is screwed up no matter how i adjust it but i will not touch that until i find a schematic. all original caps and resistors except the filters wich were physically leaking electrolite here is a photo of before and after on the filter caps and a video with raw footage of the process.. i need to take better pics of the tv , the picture is better than it appears on my cell phone camera https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMVBnl_nm5g Last edited by PortugalTV; 14th Nov 2018 at 11:04 pm. |
