>i got the scope working. it was a combination of two things i believe. it doesnt have an internal trigger, i was triggering it with a d cell battery. that would give me a brief trace, enough to see it wasnt full screen. i found an open 470k resistor for a horizontal drive tube and replaced it. after replacing it, triggering it with the battery, the trace line looked full screen. i was happy, and took it from from where i work ( a railroad) to test on my truck. when i did, i got nothing. i m like WTF? after beating the internet bushes, i found the assembly manual for the unit. it was gold. it showed how to troubleshoot it using a jumper to generate a constant trace line, and another jumper to get vertical defection. it also had some scope patterns at various tube pins. after going over it, i was missing a 220 v waveform . i found a thin solid core wire from the 340V rail to a lug on a horizonal tube detached. didnt even know it was there .it was buried, hard to see, and
>right up against lug, but broken off. probably broke off when i brought it home. i might have compromised it replacing the open resistor, one end was on the same lug. there was also a helpul video on youtube about how defection place on a crt work. i learned a lot. i never repaired anything tube, or crt's with deflection plates, only yokes. anyway, a few people here gave good advice , one guy was a total dick, as he usually is here. thanks to all who helped.
Good to hear this.
happy scoping.
