1994 Toshiba CF26C30 Intermittant Power Up, Part 10, Will it Werk?

Will it werk, that's the pressing question inquiring minds want to know.

note one. Disclaimer. TV's contain high voltages that can kill you and picture tube carry an implosion hazard. Do not try this stuff at home. I'm not responsible if you or the set gets hurt. This is why I didn't show any voltage measurements and I always powered up the set with the back on.
note: as usual for entertainment porposes. Also the old MI TV series seems to be owned by CBS video. I did not produce or own the old MI series. I did introduce a blurb to buy the old series, I'm just that kinda guy.

Wow!

Nice job! Boy, I think I have a lot of patience, but I don't think that I would go as far as you did. I would have probably put it aside for a while or would of completely canned it. I bet you sure felt good when you found that the problem was "really" fixed! I know that feeling too when I restore old radios.

Great job in NOT giving up!

Nicely Done :)

@AntiqueRadioandTV Thanks. I still have to take it apart again. I am not happy with the vert linearity. I have to study how they providde the feedback to maintain the correct linearity. I'm going to try a new vertical deflection chip and check out or replace all of the biasing resistors. The linearity can be better so I will try to make it as perfect as possible. This is a good TV. Sharp picture and natural color. Superior to most LCD's except for maybe the 4-6 top of the line models.

I restore antique radios too. I've done an RCA 810K, A Philco 38-116, A Philco 16B, and a RCA 262.

I've made videos of all of these and how I did it. All great sets for the 1930's era.

Great job, well done! I wonder how many "Instant on" featured TVs of 15+ years ago Have slowly cooked capacitors. Thanks.

Way to go! Congratulations on persevering and not giving up.

@mukerjea ok, thanks!

@Lockemeister I think everyone that will repair solid state stuff should get a decent ESR meter. For the antique radios , I jusr replace all of the antique electrolytics, no sense of testing those.

If the little electrolytics on the printed circuit boards are swollen on top, then that's a no brainer and they should automatically be replaced. The meter can see a bad one though even though the cap might still look good. This is why I think techs need to have an ESR meter.

@Lockemeister OK so the fix was not that expensive and you got your TV working and for us it was a fun to watch.

Anyway, John you get better soon. Whenever I feel the symptoms of cold getting me, I take the full three days course of "COLD FX". It really works. Give it a try next time as for this time it is late for taking Cold FX. Take care.
