I got the rectifiers replaced. I just stick a bridge in there and it works. The B+ came up quite a bit but it I still have sync issues. Both horizontal and vertical. Pic is very weak unless I inject a video signal into the 1st amp, even with a good signal, the sync is still out of whack. Im concentrating on the sync separator/agc area. They have a 6BF6 in place of a 6C4. The socket was rewired, so I'm wondering of this could be contributing. I replaced it with a 6AQ6 with no change. I'm going after the micas and resistors in this area. Voltages are off as well.
I replaced the 5J6 with a NOS 6J6a in the tuner, which is the correct tube. I lost both sound and video. I swapped it back and I got my sound back, but the video is weaker and comes and goes. Sounding like a tuner problem. Who knows. May be the agc gone cuckoo.
