Hi,
Congrats!
You have to swap all the silver shining and brown WIMA caps.
The silver shining ones have on both sides brown ends. There is a kind of
clear foil laminated over them (Values: 1000pF - ~ 0,25µF).
Best will be, if you send us a clean picture.
I shall help you with a complete manual for this TV set, it´s not only
the schematic.
I scan for free - but it takes a little time.

I use mostly 1000 VDC caps, you have to order caps anyway.
The modern ones are smaller than the old ones, so no problem.
The Booster cap has to be of the finest quality.

BE HAPPY, the line output transformer (HV) works fine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Btw., I have here in Germany a big collection of the first Australian TV sets,
AWA, Astor, Airzone, Healing, Kriesler, STC, Electrosound-SABA.

Maybe you can help me with some mouldings for the 17" STC.

Because of the Australian safety laws there has to be a special transformer for the TV inside.
It has to be a 1958 model (with AW 53-80) or ´59 (with AW 53-88), with contrast automatic and tuning eye for the TV set.
Mostly the controls don`t like to turn anymore - something for WD-40 service.
Don`t overturn when using a plyer!!!!!

Good luck!

P.S. It has to be ARKANSAS (thats what I read) and because of the size! Sevilla is the name of the TV when sold
as a table set, only.
