Well, after the CAX performance I've decided to finally go though the TV in my Computer Space. It ran all weekend, but it has sync issues and horizontal...iffiness. Any suggestions before I take it out of the cab? I plan to rip into it tomorrow.
I don't know much about it yet, but it's a GE television using a 16CWP4 picture tube. I picked up new tubes for it today. All except the picture tube (which is fine) and the HV rectifier (1BC2B). Can I use a 1BC2A instead? I found one of those but not the 'B suffix.
This will be my first tube equipment repair. Are there general precautions to take? Also, what's the best way to pull tubes from the chassis? Just wiggle them?
Clearly, I'm a solid state guy. But I'm trying to branch out.
How would I find a service manual for it? (after I find the model/chassis #)
That would rule. I need to know what all the coils do, what the supplies should be, etc...
And where can I get a multicap rebuilt? On other monitors I've replaced them with discrete caps. But this one I'd like to keep as original as I can.
