Westinghouse K840CK15 Restoration

[etype2]

UPDATE, JUNE 22, 2019, DAY 323

From Mike: A CALL FOR HELP. “I am in need of a gun magnet for the restoration of Marshall’s Westinghouse. Any chance you may have one from a parts set? These are the 6-32 threaded magnets that are about 2 inches long. I can make this if I have to but I would rather find the right part if it is available. I have contacted Bob Galanter and Steve McVoy but have not heard back from either source yet. I am nearing the end of this restoration. ( if there is any such thing), and I need that part before I can continue.

Thanks in advance, Mike”


Greetings again. I mounted the crt this evening. It is heavy with all its hardware. I felt a lot of different feelings all at once as I was handling this assembly. Anxiety, Fear, Hope, Joy, Satisfaction. LOL. I am still in need of the magnet for the static convergence before I can finish this project. The pictures are as follows.

Pix #1 CRT assembly
Pix #2 The convergence wire that will soon connect to the 15G tube is tied away from the horizontal output tube in order to prevent the heat from the tube causing damage to the insulation. The original lead was melted to the side of the tube which is why I have added this modification. I used electronic lacing string to accomplish this. It is very good quality and it is waxed which makes it very long term reliable.
Pix #3 The high voltage cage showing the extra insulation around the 1B3 tubes to prevent arcing. I have also added insulation to the side of the cage where the convergence pot lives. This is very thick high voltage tape that is good to 20 KV per single wrap.
Pix #4 Top view of the chassis before the crt install.
Pix #5 Front view of the controls.
Pix #6 CRT "Truck" installed. YAY!
Pix #7 The socket that I used to jig the chassis to the 21FBP22 can now be removed. I will replace it with the new 15GP22 socket that I received from Steve McVoy.


Cheers, Mike

Hey Mike,

I think you mean the beam positioning magnets on the CRT neck. Hopefully Steve McVoy has some somewhere. These photos from my CT-100 for reference for anyone viewing this post:
