Rare find! A Magnavox Brittany tv!

[Yamamaya42]

Well, I did contact Moyer electronics last Fri 9/26 to see if it was possible to get the right FBT, so far not a peep back from them.
Any idea how long it takes for them to reply?

Mee to, some time ago I'm not received response from them, when I requested a flyback.

It can take Bill a while, but he's always gotten back to me. If you left a part number, he will look through their stock before responding, and that can take a while. Ive bought a couple flybacks from them and no problems but it did take a couple weeks

Hey moyers may have the flyback all you have to do is call them and ask for bill and tell him you are a friend of Tim from New York and then ask him about the flyback don’t mention you have been waiting or that you had called already.

I've been waiting almost a year about a flyback and given up on them.

Jeez....You think they'd at least have the courtesy to tell you they don't have one if they've checked.

exactly...

Shango helped me out with Moyers and a new flyback is on the way for my Computer Space project.

He knows Bill the Owner who is a good guy and says they have loads of vintage TV parts.
You really need to pick up the phone and call them.

Nice!

[Yamamaya42]

Probably should have changed some more of the resistors in the vertical oscillator area even though they tested OK 15% of what they were rated, as it's hard to get lock when first turned on,cold, but after warm 10 min it's VERY stable and fine for hours.

As I mentioned, I'm done with the set for now...
But it's still a bit too wide and linearity is off, as for width, S101 adjusts it by swapping in resistors on G2 of the HOT, what effect will raising or lowering the values of them have on width?
Someone also mentioned changing the 100 ohm cathode resistor to a lower value, but won't that also lower the HV as well?
