Yeah as long as we keep making progress
Some pics from this afternoon. I'm telling you, a SW cockpit is a feather-weight compared to this:
First I had to install the game PCB set back and of course the first chassis. After power up there were no explosions are other scary things but I had a completely dark screen. Did have neck-glow though so I turned up the Screen pot and got a grayish screen that was completely out of sync. Turning the V-hold and H-hold pots gained a stable picture ! Nice new pots, silky smooth
However the picture quality was still far from what it should be. Especially the colors are simply not as bright as should.
Tried fiddling with the Screen and black-level pots but definitely not satisfactory.
Even turning up the color guns didn't really help and pots showed poor contacts (sigh).
So...I suspected the tube to be in less than brilliant condition....
So the next step was hooking up the Müter rejuvenator for the very first time with a serious job.
Thanks to the table (which is searchable electronically, hurray !!) I quickly found I need adapter 808 for this tube and luckily I have it
I don't remember how to operate it completely anymore but I know how to let it test the guns...
And the results are pretty clear:
Only the red gun is still in the "Good" zone. the others are in the "grey" zone which is more or less what I was thinking, weak but not dead....
So....I wil have a go at rejuving it tomorrow. It started to be pretty cold and I wanted to get everything inside before it got damp.
Also....I need to read the manual again before I screw up a very rare med-res tube! And I want to take my time to do it and not rush things....way too precious.
Apart from that I will be ordering all the remaining pots from RS online....even though they measured pretty good, in reality they definitely have seen better days. I hope they have the correct values....
