Hi Roger
I found the fault, poor soldering in a connection at one of the tubes.
What I'm struggling with right now is the voltage level across test point one and pin 11 (grid 2) on either V6, V7 & V8. According to the instruction I have there should be around 170 volt, adjusted by R16. I only get half ot it i.e 85 VDC, so think I need to look into the rectifying circuit.
Step learning curve but that's okay, I enjoy learning day by day.
Diagram attached, I have a corresponding version from whomever built it back in the 80'ties.
Regards
Thomas

- I'd be looking at the screen regulator for that circuit. - Ralph 14:21:25 03/03/20 (0)
