Little clues left out in the open..... I'm wondering about a sentence back at the start of
this thread.... " Voltages are more or less normal along H-osc and discharge. However,
voltages are a bit off on V3: pins 11 (190v) and 5 (-78). Waveforms appear to look ok
on V2a, V2b. " I Don't have a schematic to this tv, & don't know if the voltages posted
are what is read, or off the schematic. But I do know that if the G1 to the horizontal
output tube needs to be -70, and it's -60 that's a problem. More positive going means
more cathode current. I also like this sentence " One thing I just noticed is that the
Hor freq control is cranked all the way to one end of the range to maintain hold.
When I start the set up the H hold is missing for a few seconds. This lack of range
may be indicator of a cause of insufficient drive as well. " Seems to me to be a clue
that something may be off in the horiz. osc. circuit. - Ok back to talking about
changing triplers, yokes, speakers & such. Not that it can't be one of those, but
the Horiz osc. does drive the horiz. output stage.
