it can work again! An old CE told me that once. Found an open 5 ohm 5W resistor and an open diode in the low voltage power supply. I was really surprised when I first powered it up, that all the filaments glowed. I expected the 33GY7 to be blown. It was sort of magical watching the CRT come up for the first time in maybe 25-30 years.
Its a mess of a set, wires everywhere. Had some help from the GE book. It covered the S2 which is very close to the S3. The only thing running off the B+ boost is the sound IF.
There was a Zayre in my township but it is long gone. There was also a KMart and Richway, also long gone. The very first Home Depot was nearby but it has relocated across town.
Quite a few Zayre items on Ebay. I vaguely remember buying tires at the one on S. Cobb Parkway (in Smyrna, GA.) I remember going into the local Zayre and there was no air conditioning. That must have been the beginning of the end. Welcome to all the Zayre community viewing this thread!
