1952 Philco 52-T2151
#1

Hello all,

Looking for a little help. At a standstill with this set. Set uses the Philco split chassis RF71 & G1 Sweep chassis. Have serious vertical issues and have been through the vert oscillator and output circuits and the obvious tube test, pot checks, etc and cannot find anything that seems amiss. Set was recently re-capped, and at first was operating better than this, but still had a vertical issue that has elevated to this. Do I have a vertical yoke winding issue?
I have not checked voltages - mainly because I can't figure out how to get the chassis's out and connected to power up and have enough room to install the test sockets or from underneath without smoking myself! So operating really from the dark. But if someone can offer suggestions, it would be appreciated. I think I have just stared at this thing too long.
ThanksIcon_wtf
