I am currently restoring a Predicta Holiday, and am having trouble resolving an issue with "no picture, no sound". I have a faint raster, and an audio hum (hum decreases at full CW on the volume control).
I have reviewed a similar thread on Videokarma, but that has not helped (yet). Here is what I have done so far: - Tested all tubes - Re-capped all electrolytics - Re-capped the chassis - Replaced the rectifier diodes and caps - Replaced R77 with individual resistors (13 ohm, 18 ohm, 8 ohm) - Replaced R76 with two SL12's - Replaced R78 "fusistor" with a 5.6 ohm 10W resistor and a 1A fuse - Re-capped the main board, replaced all networks and the 12CA5 (someone has replaced the socket) - Corrected a cold solder joint in the tuner filament connector pin - Removed a solder bridge from the 2nd IF (shorting C14 and R15) , replaced some resistors, and replaced the 5AM8 - Verified resistance values in the fly-back and L23 (okay) - Replaced resistors R66, R67, R70, and R71 in the Width/Boost circuit - Checked R5 (Width) and R68; measure okay Using Sam's as a reference, here are my voltages: - Cathode of M1: 275V vs. 290V - 280V Source: 262V - 260V A Source: 257V - 260V B Tuner B+: 239V - 260V C Source: 238V - 140V Source: 144V - 435V Boost: 391V at pin 1 of the CRT ( R5 full CCW; 350V centered); voltage seems to decay slowly I would certainly appreciate some insight... |
