Stromberg Carlson TC-19 horizontal line

[init4fun]

Dave , I don't know if you've been told this before , but DO NOT allow that horizontal line to remain on the screen at anything close to full brightness as this will burn a line in the CRT's phosphors that will result in that area being a "dead spot" forever on the CRT . Any power on testing from here on out must be done with the brightness set at the barest minimum to get a barely there faint line so the phosphors aren't damaged (burnt) untill you restore the vertical deflection . A set such as this will require a "recap" , replacement of the electrolytic capacitors in the power supply and vertical circuits as a beginning of your restoration of the set .
