Restrung the cord for the arrow mask and started in on the SG voltage problem. After half a day of troubleshooting I found that I had installed a wrong value resistor. Now the screen buss is up to 75v. Hum was found to be a bad resistor over in the tone circuit. Also had an intermittent, volume would change all by it self. Was a bad connection at the ant post. Disassembled the spkr plug someone in the past did a bad job repairing the wiring. Cleaned it up evened up the wires and add some heat shrink tubing to give it a bit of strength. I was playing with it a bit and changed the value of #14 and it improved the high frequency response of the audio. Sound really good!
It's been playing for about 8hrs with out a problem. If I could only get that 42-854 to do the same!!! Waiting on a few small parts bulbs and such. Also want to do the SW/LW alignment BC and IF are good.
Currently It's playing Information Please, I always feel smarter after listening to it!
