Nice set!

I’ve got an identical set to this, but guess what? Yes that’s right, the dreaded LOPT EHT overwind problem. The picture is blooming more and more these days so I’ve not powered it up for a while. I’m thinking of going down the tripler route. As I understand it I need to remove the overwind completely and connect the top cap of the line output valve to the input of the tripler and have 1pf cap going to ground too. Is this correct?

Correct about removing the over-wind and the Tripler placement to the TC of the Line-Output Valve. Although I’m not certain about the 1pF to ground. I did the Tripler trick on a 19″ RGD dual standard and didn’t use the cap, it worked fine without. Best check with the TV engineers on the forum to be sure or they may even answer here.

I had to use a tripler on my TV166 and sure enough chopped out the overwind completely and used a 120pF cap I think. It was many years ago though!

That bellcrank used to operate the system-change switches used to pop out of its pivot hole on mine which necessitated having to remove the back cover and replace it every time I switched from 625 to 405 or vice-versa. With hindsight I should have shoved a spindle of some sort into the centre hole to lock it into place.
