Had a chance for a quick look at the set today. Pulled out all the boards, meggered the mains transformer, checked earth continuity. All OK. Oddly, the earth core of the mains lead had been cut back. Perhaps the set had been used with a 2 pin plug at one time. Switched on, reasonable voltages on secondaries, connected CRT base panel and heaters glowed nicely.
Brushed off copious amounts of dust.
Next step power supply and regulator. The PSU in the set has seen better days but looks easy enough to fix up. Also with the set were 2 spare PSU boards. One looks nice, the other is a parts donor unless your name is McBoyne
I'll start with the 2nd one as it looks nicest. Probably run it up on a bench PSU to reform the caps.
I have a spare regulator baord too but the one in the set looks nice enough. Again I may run it up on the bench to see what it's like.
Nothing else in the set has any obvious abuse so fingers crossed.
