Thanks guys. Two problems solved with one thread.
I ended up replacing all electrolytics. The chassis is working the way it did, so it seems like the electrolytics never needed changing but atleast they are brand new. The tube sockets on the pcbs seem to really suck.
Are they known for failure? Also, the video amp, it won't light up. It uses a 12V filament that is center tapped; the tap gets connected to ground and the two ends get connected to the filament winding. I looked at the resistance of the filament and it's 6 ohms, and 3 ohms at each end from testing from the center tap. What do you guys think it is? And also, portions of the video cause noise in the audio, but it might be because of that tube socket.
Thanks.
Big Dave,
I saw your site. It rocks.
I saw that with your roundies, the most capacitors you replaced are pretty much the electrolytics, and only replaced the others like on the vertical oscillator board because they were suspect. Is this usually pretty much it that needs to be changed other than suspect parts?
Thanks.
Jonathan
