Hi folks,
I?ve begun some work on a VT52, and need to get the power supply board out onto my bench
for some work. For those who have been in here before: is there a way to detach the HV
anode lead at the board side (does the white ?cap? come off the lead connector?) Or is
the only option to unclip at the CRT itself?
They don?t make it easy to get to the anode cap in this terminal ? one has to pull the
whole tube, with the power supply board in tow. After doing this for an inspection, I
find the anode cap looking little brittle and covered with some red, oily ?goop?? I?d
rather just leave that alone and detach from the board side if it works that way?
cheers,
?FritzM.
