The puzzle begins - can I ever get it back together & working
?????
|
Drag the harness to the chassis and start
 |
A few false starts and I figured out a plan for threading it all
together
 |
Tie-wraps hold things in approximately the right location
 |
 |
 |
OK, I got this far and then remembered I needed to add the bottom plate!
 |
 |
End of day 1 - mostly in the right location - some branches yet to
figure out.
 |
1/17/13 - Start re-installing components
|
Observer/Supervisor
 |
Strip and tin all the wires
 |
Ready to begin
 |
Fan tray re-installed
 |
RHS components - these mount hanging down from the fan tray
 |
Solder leads, then mount upside down
 |
mounted
 |
RHS also has terminal strip for connections to AN/FRT-18 amplifier
section
 |
HV rectifier socket cleaning
 |
RH door wired
 |
Bottom deck components
 |
re-installing control relays
 |
 |
 |
LHS - terminal board, HV relays, and MV filament xfmr
 |
It took many tries to get all this stuff squeezed into place. install,
remove, re-route, re-install, repeat as necessary.
 |
1/31/13 Landmark of sorts, everything in the lower compartment but the
rectifiers
(and HV plate xfmr
and choke at the rear which will go in last)
|
RHS power supply section
 |
LHS power supply section with voltage regulator, LV choke, LV caps,and
autoxfmr installed

Mod xfmr - 70 lbs
|
Plate xfmr - 105 lbs
|
Everything back in place - with a little wiring left to do at the bottom
|
At last - Ready to start working on the drawers
 |
Big mistake - I didn't replace all these poorly crimped HV connectors when
I had the wiring harness out.
|
Nooo, I waited until everything was re-installed before deciding to solder
on new connectors
|
Some locations were easy to get to
|
- and some of the terminals were MUCH more difficult to access.
 |
|
Dang! Leftovers - I wonder where these were supposed to go.........
|
Corroded hardware that was replaced
|
Still need to repair the meter glass
