Craftsman RC200 resto
#5

I did a slow power up without the bulb in the circuit. It was dropping the current enough that nothing would work. I monitored the current and it was in the 1.5 amp range. I could get some static in the sound, hear the vertical running and the horizontal, but it seemed a little upset over something and I only had about 2kv on the high voltage. I did some checks around the horizontal and damper and found the voltages close enough. So I did a test on the HV tube and found it dead. I found one in a junk box and it at least moved the meter on the tube tester so I put it in and this is what I got:
   


I have about 14kv on the meter now. No video or sound. Flashes when I change channels. I think this is a split carrier set, so I'm betting something in the tuner. Typical vertical sweep issues. That's as far as I got.
