Default Re: My first foray into Old model TV repairs.

OK replaced the smoothing caps then wondere why the resistors off the PY82's were glowing red!

Switched off and for some who knows reason I have connected the 100uF cap the wrong way around so it quickly started to get warm.

OK take two with another bunch of caps and I get the 185 Volt HT on the Avo. Also got full raster.

The HH2 arrived today so I had a think and stuck a piece of wire in the TV ant connector and one in the HH2 and set it to generate a test-card.

Flick the switch EGOR flick the switch! It lives it lives.

OK a bit OTT

Tube seems a bit soft can not really tell wit a noisy signal so have to come up with something better. It tunes channels 1 to 5 OK I have the frame linearity to one end of it's travel at present, and if I turn the brightness up I can see fly-back lines, but as I said I really need to get a better signal in.

So what are the two pin plugs called for the aerial and where can I get some?

I also need to figure out a replacement 200uF/100uF can.

Cheers

Adrian
