This chassis was brought back from the dead with bob roberts deluxe kit..My problem is both v.hold and v. height adjust the height.I have been over the chassis with a small pick cleaning between the traces and am convinced i have no shorts or splatter.Any idea what component is common to these two pots that could fail and cause this.
 
I should add that there is a constant chirping like a constant cricket sound..I just reflowed the flyback connections and many others to make sure they are good.B+ is 120 but to get it there i have the adjuster just about maxed out but not quite,,is that normal ?
 
Since i last posted i have removed the flyback and reinstalled it as per a squeeling thread i found. No luck it still makes the goofy noise, so i put the old flyback on just to see if i had a bad flyback , exact same behavior.So i would say it is safe to rule out the flyback.
These may be two separate issues so feel free to chime in on either.The manual doesn't really give me much to go on.
 
I did the sync mod per bob roberts instructions and replaced the v. hold , v. height and H. freq. pots. Now the controls work as they should,it still sounds as if it has a small cricket in there.It is very hard to get it to sync completely ,i can get it almost stopped but not quite.So off to read some threads on sync issues and crickets.
I am going to beat this yet.or i will resort to shotgunning it,,,a 12 gauge should do the trick.
