I have a 454 that has no vertical deflection on ch1 or ch2, using
another scope I am able to trace signal from the preamps to the
deflection plates. The sweep appears to be in good shape and the
trace is centered on crt. ( position controls have no effect on
trace) What I don't understand is that I have a voltage imbalance

on

vertical plates and the trace is still centered!

Boy! I don't understand that either. I have to wonder if the

voltage

unbalance is actually getting to the deflection plates inside the

CRT.

Perhaps there is a broken connection INSIDE the CRT. If the

unbalance is

actually on the CRT plates, I don't see how the trace can be

centered

vertically . . .

Stan,
Upon further investigation I have found that when the scope is
turned on the collector voltage is the same (74.6 volts) on each
output device. The voltage will stay in that condition ( flat
centered trace) until I start making voltage measurements with my
voltmeter ( high impedance digital) then the top connecter drops to
56.8 -62.0 volts and the bottom to 32.5 -29.8 volts, the voltage of
course being determined by position control. The trace is at this
point off screen in all modes ( chop, add ect) I can seem only to
bring this condition on by taking voltage measurement on either vert
plate.
Do you think maybe a bad output transistor? thanks for your help.
Mike
