Fergy 941/951 Chassis Removal
OK, it's time to feel very silly.
Just how do you get the chassis out ? The CRT won't slide pass the speaker that is mounted on the side, and I can't seem to get enough access to remove the speaker because of the CRT (which also blocks my view so can't quite see all the bits that hold the speaker in). There doesn't seem to be enough room to tilt the chassis in order to get past (not helped by my CRT phobia). TTFN, Jon |

Re: Fergy 941/951 Chassis Removal
Hello Jon,
Unfortunately you have to smash the tube with a hammer so as to remove the chassis...Only do this if you know the tube is definitely U/S before you start the repair. You have to cut a hole in the cabinet front to fit the replacement... I have several of these sets and you have to remove the speaker before the chassis can be removed. The original Ferguson manual states: 'Next remove the loudspeaker from the baffle. In earlier models this is held in position by four nuts but on later models an improved fixing is employed and it is only necessary to remove one woodscrew at the rear when it will be found that the loudspeaker can be pulled forward out of the two clips that then secure it. The chassis complete with loudspeaker can then be withdrawn from the cabinet......' Well that's it, Jon. Good luck with it but I bet the LOPT overwind is shorted turns.

John it does sound like you have a phobia, just shudders to think back age 17 scrubbing up a big round 12 inch tube in the sink ,scrubbing brush and hot water

Phew, chassis is out, it was just the one screw but needed one hell of a tug as it was a bit stuck.

Re: Fergy 941/951 Chassis Removal
Hello again Jon,
The problem with the lopt is the multiple eht overwind and the fact that it was Fergusons first set with flyback eht. The 842 series used an RF unit. The symptoms usually are very low AC at the anode of the EY51. The set gives a very good brilliant picture, every bit as good as the TV22 when working correctly. I have a vision of you clad in a brass deep sea divers outfit complete with lead boots....Just to remove a loudspeaker? All this Wendy Woo nonsense for a 9" tube....Wait till you get a set with a Mazda CRM151..That sorts the men from the boys.. PS If you seed a copy of the original manual, let me have a forwarding address. Regards John. |

CRM151 ? Thats nownt, the one in this fridge-freezer is the scariest thing I've ever seen :-
http://www.thevalvepage.com/tv/cossor/cos900/cos900.htm Re the 951 manual, yes please ! I only have the ERT sheet to hand, and they don't even have the decency to put the flamin' component values on the cct diagram. TTFN, Jon |
