| Symptom | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| +225 V out of regulation | C70 (bumblebee) leaky C72 (bumblebee) leaky |
replace C70 replace C72 |
| +450 V out of regulation | C69 (bumblebee) leaky | replace C69 |
| no sweep | V15 (6C4) marginal | swap V15, V10 (sweep output) / eventually replace |
| X axis offset to the left | ||
| HV low (1500 V max, 1800 nom.) | ||
| intensity does not vary with control | ||
| vertical amplifier inoperable |
