Packard Bell crw504 color console. 1969 Packard Bell 25" Color.98D17 Chassis Sams- Cathode current runs 215ma Sams lists 225ma. Flyback was melted and shorted, horizontal output tube burn up. Replaced flyback and 6JE6. Broken wire on hv adjust pot had pulled away form chassis ground. Rerouted ground do to high stress design. Leaky/shorted video detector diode causing ringing/agc/sync and general unusable picture. 1N64a replaced with 1N34a GE diode. Set has great picture, some vertical shadow likes on left side as well as width is too short on left side and pulls in on some scenes. Can get red purity perfect. Overall excellent picture and color. Set is super low use/new old stock and must have failed on showroom floor or shortly after delivery due to broken wire.



New old stock Packard Bell cq955 color console. 98c18 chassis. NEW (cathode current on the other one like this 6JE6 is 210 ma)
