Default Re: B&O Capri 606 TV (17") restoration

Hi,
I didn't notice this thread until today.
It's quite interesting to follow the process of getting this oldie going again
You're doing exactly what I did on a daily basis in the early 70'ies working as an apprentice to become a TV/Radio repair tech.
Anyway, what I want to say is that I'm about 35~40Km to the south of Aalborg and I have every valve/tube NOS for this TV, possibly except the DY87.
I haven't yet found any reason to stock that one except for renovating old B/W TV's which I don't do.
One or two MAY have slipped in though.
I have valve-testers on hand and so can easily check the valves you already have, as well as offer you to borrow what NOS valves you feel may need to complete the repair-job.
As I remeber it, with no signal-input to the antenna-socket, the lack of snow/noise in the picture often pointed to a fault in the IF-amplifier circuits. Most likely the EF80 valves would go low on amplification leaving a bleak picture with severe loss of contrast.

Best regards,
