[split] My 47-1230 Restoration
#5

Like Arran said more than likely the input cap in the power supply shorted took out the the 5Y3 and the HV winding on the power transformer rendering it scrap.

Should I replace the paper /wax caps before applying any power
Good idea!

just replace the power transformer and see what happens.
Bad idea stock up on fire insurance.

Im thinking the latter then replace the caps systematically. Any help or advise would be welcome.
I would do it all at once.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
