Description
-
The vertical deflection driver for the CRT had been known bad for quite some time. Upon investigation a damaged trace was found (image 1) on one side of the totem pole drivers and it was bridged (image 2).
After this the unit appeared fully functional if not for several intermittent potentiometers. After identifying several of these potentiometers including, brightness, focus and timebase further ailments where discovered. These include the misalignment of the delay and regular timebase.
The timebases where promptly realigned by adjusting the belt (image 3).
Finally, the front panel was cleaned (image 4 and 5). The final steps remain to clean or replace misbehaving potentiometers.
