[NJARC] NJARC Digest, Vol 73, Issue 22

Hi Victor,

Look *carefully* where each terminal exits the can. Usually that area is in the shape of circle, square, triangle.

If your pix tube is good, you're way ahead of the game. What symptoms do you have? What (if anything) is on the screen? Does the set have sound at least?

Regards,

John

I spoke with Scotty yesterday and he informs me that this is not a tube that 
he can restore. He did agree that this tube is very difficult to test unless 
you have an individual pin rejuvenator tester which I do not. He asked me to 
look at the filament which I had not done (ha) and said that it is a good 
thing if it lights up which it did ...ah progress. Now I realized that the 
three filter caps on top of the chassis had never been changed and realize 
that this may be the problem. I realize that I must change these before 
dropping the cash to buy a new tube. the canister has the usual symbols of 
triangle square and semi-circle but I can't for the life of me find them on 
or near the terminals. I have only changed out one other multi filter 
canister and I am not that comfortable with doing this so maybe a good 
candidate for the next clinic. I see that I just missed one.
