Update: Nanao MS8-26 - Now we got a wobble

Post by rewrite »

New update: we wobbling!

Update: Recapped it, replaced Q401/402, and R433/436/ Noticed that Q533 is just plain missing on my chassis. It used to be there, as there's old solder where it was pulled.

So what part number/value/what-have-you is Q533? :/



Picked up an Aero City last night with full vertical frame collapse. Pulled the chassis and noticed that someone's already attempted repair here (sloppy soldering job only on those 6 components). Managed to find every value needed on here through search except R436. Any chance someone knows the values on the resistor 436?

I know the schematic is on the wiki, but I honestly cannot make out half the numbers.

Signs of frame fold-over
Change:

Q401,Q402 2SD1571
C433 10uf 50volt electrolitic
C437 120uf 50volt electrolitic
R433 0.25W 2K2

R436 (?)

Seems that this transistor is completely missing on my chassis.

I assume that turning it back on without it is a bad idea, yeah?

Q533 is the HOT (a D1880), however, there are two mounting locations for it. One is supposed to be empty.

So you're not missing anything. Plug it in! :)

If I recall correctly from my Aero's MS8-26SG, the HOT is mounted on the side of one of the vertical metal brackets, in case that helps you find yours.

Interesting. Well, I'll give it a whirl soon as I get it back in its case!

This one is an MS8-26SU. My other Aero monitor is an SG :). But you're right, it's right up against the outer wall of the metal bracket surrounding the flyback.

So I plugged it in with no video feed, set B+ to 92V as that's what the aforementioned KLOV link said, adjusted the brightness to get rid of the raster lines, turned it off, attached the video lines, back on, adjusted focus, and I'm left with an 90% good picture, but the one end of the screen does this:

Wherever the ships move on screen the bottom wobbles. And I'm a little perplexed.

I did double and triple check polarity on the caps as I installed them. So I have zero doubt those are in proper.

EDIT: Okay, I'd missed the neckboard to tube black wire. Put that one, image is great. Time to put this guy to the side till I paint the cab this weekend :).

Thanks to everyone who helped!
