[NJARC] RCA Victor TV Set

[john ruccolo]

Ed,

You have crossed a "Moral Divide" into the Forbidden
Zone. Only God (and Dave Sica) can help you now.

It was nice knowing you,

JR

;-)

PS -- But seriously, you'll find that TV's have a lot
of the same problems as radios -- leaky caps,
way-out-of-tolerance resistors, an occasional bad or
flaky tube, botched previous repair jobs. Old TV's can
be fun too! I'm no expert, but other guys in the club
are, and do work on them. Just be prepared to replace
a LOTTA caps.

Bring it up sloowwly on a Variac and see what happens.
Chances are the pix tube is good, or at least good
*enough*. You don't see a "spot" in the center of the
screen, do you? If so, that's a problem.
