Hi Don,
thanks very much for the extremely generous offer, he 's not advertising at the moment, but I can always ask him if he'll send locally if he does again. Apparently his legs don't work, so he's house bound and only wants local pickup of the CD's. I was even willing to have him email me the files if I paid for them, but he wasn't interested.
Pity about that becuase from what I keep reading, the Philco manuals are better than the Sams ones. I have a Philco cct diag from ARF, which I'm really grateful for. I'm now looking for a CRO in AU and possibly a TV analyser as well to feed in various H and V drive signals.
Anyone know about my issue? I feel as though I'm missing something really basic, I do have replacement electros on the way for the big can, but I'm wondering if K7 couplate from the HOR OSC to the 6DQ6 may be causing the loading down problem. It's all OK until either yoke is connected, then the EHT dies to almost nothing, and there's no glow from the rectifier tube either. (To be expected.)
I'm assuming that running one of these TVs at a mains frequency of 50Hz instead of 60 Hz wouldn't be too major? I would think that with these sets, there'd be a lot of room for error. Obviously I have to use a 240V to 110V transformer, but that's easy.
Cheers,
Adam
