THIS WAS FOUND AT A NOW GONE FLEA MARKET IN COLUMBUS. AS FOUND, THE CRT HAD A BRIGHTNER. IT CAME BACK AFTER A LENGTHY COOK AT RAISED VOLTAGE. I SOFT STARTED IT AND ONLY HAD 15 VOLTS ON THE DOUBLER. THAT CAP WAS DEAD. I DID A FULL RECAP AND GOT A NICE BLANK PICTURE. AS YOU WILL SEE BELOW, THIS CHASSIS IS NOT SERVICE FRIENDLY.
THE PC BOARD GETS A LOT OF HEAT... LITERALLY. THIS BOARD WOULD BE MY NEMESIS. THE HOT CHASSIS FIX ONLY INVOLVED POLARIZING THE PLUG. ON THE BOARD, I ENDED UP RESOLDERING A LOT OF CONNECTIONS. ULTIMATELY, I GOT A DECENT PICTURE.
THE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD FROM HELL...
