Celebrate our Independence, happy 4th!

Took the chassis with me back home to my folks house, so I could get more in depth with it. There's a scope here, and better tables to work on. Thanks to Mark I now have a good Sams for this set, so things are moving fast now. I found some out of tolerance resistors in the vert board, and replaced some suspect caps in various other parts of the chassis. Still have to order the can caps...

Main thing I'm glad I found was a whacked resistor on the vert board, which came from the height control. It was supposed to be 1.8 meg, but read out at 2.2 meg. I'm betting that's why the height control had needed to be full CW to get the screen to look right. Unsure if it will fix the vert folding as well, we'll have to see after I get the 'lytics swapped out.

More good news: according to Mark's Sencore picture tube tester, I have a like new 21CYP22 in my set!
