Admiral Roundie Something explodes

G1 shorts stays in the upper good.. I just walked away and left the sencore on

Voltage is at 6.3

try it again after 15 min if you get NO movement at all I mean NONE then it may have an open weld. There is a procedure, I think banderson did it, that involves tapping the neck in and some sequence of pushing rejuv buttons. I have not tried it, not sure if its talked about in the manual. I could also be a disconnected pin/wire. I would try that 1st, heating up the pin with a soldering gun to see if you can reflow solder in side the pin. Tapping the neck too hard can result in a broken CRT.

getting late, I will check back and see how you did tomorrow good luck with it.

Hum, when i turn on the sencore on cutoff setting, needle moves up a tad, below the start of the red (Bad) and it moves within two minutes where it's almost before the red (bad). But still when i turn the cut off set, needle doesn't move

[tvcollector]

Thanks for your help dave talk to you tomorrow..

[DaveWM]

ok you set it to cut off can you move the needle to have it at the cut of line (just a little bit from the meter full off?) You should be able to set the cut off to that line (not the bad good, but s small line in the extreme left side of the meter).

IF you can then leave the cut off adj alone and advance to the emisson test. the emission test should be done with the cut off adj set from the prior test.

Needle wont move, I turned it on again, and the needle now is right at the start of the bad. It won't go up to the cut line

[DaveWM]

its all pretty well covered in the manual, just follow the steps in there and you should be good to go.

does it move at all or is that as low as it goes??

[DaveWM]

it sounds like its working somewhat I would not get too concerned until after you have it in chassis. Just resist the urge to rejuv...

[tvcollector]

when i turn the Sencore on the needle moves a tad, but goes to the start of the red (Bad), needle doesn't move at all after nor does it when adjusting the cutoff control

Are you sure you have the tester hooked up right, with the knobs set correctly? I fought the UA first time I used it, trust me if you don't pay attention you'll screw something up.

[tvcollector]

thats the last thing i would do unless you give the say to.. I know how the urges are, urges can cause damage

[DaveWM]

couple other things to check out with the CR-70, check the pins on the socket that the adapters plug into on the connector coming from the tester. I had one that had a bent pin, so when I attached the connector it was not realla hooked up. Those pins are thin and can get bent.

miniman82 I had the settings the way the CRT chart says at first, than Dave said that's not the correct way, you have to go what the manual says with the U Adapter. So the setting were going by the CRT chart said (Wrong Way) at first, at that time it did not do anything to the CRT.
