My little 5102 has a convergence error. The top horizontal blue is out, this being a 30AX tube set I thought was a little odd.
I tried adjusting the (tolerance)pot near the scan coils plug to no avail - made things worse.
The next thing was to try swapping the scan coils with my similar B&O 7702 , lo and behold the convergence error then appeared on the 7702 and my 5102 had perfect convergence.
I have manually degaussed the 5102 to no effect.
Other than trying to source a replacement 30AX yoke do any forum members have a possible solution. I did test the diodes but being in situ they gave confusing readings.

Are there any rubber wedges come adrift?
No Malc, it's all secure and the yoke is pushed fully forward and sitting on the bosses on the tube bowl

I guess the obvious check for dry joints and poor connections has proved fruitless? ?

I can't see any bad joints. I'm thinking of releasing the PCB and checking the diodes properly. The only thing that puts me off is the PCB is part glued / potted along its bottom edge.

You need a set of coils to try.
I've already done that - see first post- Looks like I'm going to have to take a scalpel to the goo around the PCB and test the components there properly

It sounds like an open circuit somewhere, could be a diode or a poor joint under the PCB or even on one of the lugs. I would think if a short, then the set would protest more loudly ? Hmmm an odd one. ?
But a poor solder joint would probably give intermittent failure....this is permanent?

Could be gun alignment, try scan coils on another crt. It may have been like that from new, Malc.
A little crossed wires going on here, Mike has already explained in his first post and then again two posts back, he has done this. The fault moved to the other set and the fault cleared in the original. ?
