Predicta Siesta scored
#24

Sorry I didn't keep up on this thread.

Initial power up and troubleshooting.

The vertical linearity control pot was open that what caused the vertical to collapse and burned a line into the CRT.

I missed a broken ground connection on the main board that took a while to track down. My quick fix was to solder a wire directly to a tube pin. Later when I pulled the board I did a proper repair.

I did take it all apart and washed it down with Simple Green. The results were impressive.

Fully cleaned and recapped.

I also swapped out the yoke as the wiring was cut, spliced and deteriorated.
