<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large;color:rgb(0,0,255)">So, I decided to do the whole setup procedure as per the Manual, just to get back to Square 1.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large;color:rgb(0,0,255)">
Well, this has been a surprise. After adding the EE-BB jumper and turning it on, I started to reset the Astig ans the Focus. Got a tiny spot, moves right and left up and down. Used the Balance pots to even out the Hor and Vert rates of increase. But one odd thing I noticed: with no H gain, the Vertical line has some sort of odd distortion, like an extra little squiggly Vert line against the main line. With no V, the Horizontal gain line doesn't seem to show any extra "line".<br>
<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large;color:rgb(0,0,255)">The I did the No H/Max V line and added in H to get the 45-degree line which may need to be adjusted with the Balance pots. EGADS! it tries to make like an oval! Got to be that wierd little vertical line messing something up.<br>
<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large;color:rgb(0,0,255)">Now, as you can imagine, The ICOD Section of the Manual makes no mention of such a condition. So, Now I don't know what to expect. I guess I'll put it inline with my SB-104A tomorrow and see what kind of SSB waveform I get. Should be interesting.<br>
<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large;color:rgb(0,0,255)">Anyone on the Reflector have an idea what might be wrong? The only changes I've made to the Main Circuit Board have been two new 100uF/450V electros to replace the 70uF/350V, and three new .15uF/3kV Mylar caps to replace the old ones. That's in the PS section and can't imagine causing a problem like this.<br>
