Sir Willard . . . . .
Wheeeee ! . . . . I now see . . .that you got the board out for some nude photos . . .very well done . . . and additional KUDOS on the backlighting of the
poil faths.
I placed and 1x scaled the two views side by side and concentrated on only the points of interest. I now was able to find that fuse "landmark" easily this time and I used fine . . . . .minimally view encroaching . . .YELLOW lines. Establishing boundaries.
Using the corner board mounting screw hole, one screw 180 deg from it and the holes thru the board established 3 corners and the 4th just fell in as the automatic right bottom apex.
MIEINE EVALUATION . . . . .
What I seem to be " foil path reading " here, is a negative HV supply area that is associated with the different levels of voltage division needed for supplying the focus and sub voltage levels needed by the sections / elements of the display CRT.
Three 0.1 ufd at 1KV HV caps are being used for HV filtering, along with intermediate voltage divider resistors.
On velly hi dollah scopes, that use much higher voltages and accelerator electrodes, they usually build them up as a dedicated flyback type of supply
On minimalistic scopes, they usually depend upon a sole separate/isolated high voltage AC winding on the power transformer that is up in the 5 hundreds PLUS of volts, just a bit less than that 1KV. Or they could use half that voltage and voltage double up to get that level. I don't see that being done here..
I do see that on the 4th photo down, of your new cluster, that I am able to see writing on the side of the power transformer that is giving voltage ratings, related to its windings .
Pass that info on to us and I suspect that one of them will be the single higher level that I mentioned earlier. Or there may be another transformer that was not in a photo..
Proceeding, prematurely, in a highly educated manner and by taking in what I am seeing, I believe that if you will take the second photo down of the 4 shown and note that there are two ORANGE wires that come into the PCB, that connect to the two right ORANGE CIRCLES on my right foil side display.
That would seem to be the HV AC input.
I am taking the top wire as going up and connecting to the cathode of a high voltage rectifier diode, (as WHITE A on the left photo) and it is outputting negative voltage on its anode up to WHITE B, which foil loops on down and connects in B PRIME to a first section of filtering with the "GRAY LINE" filter.
Therewith, you should successfully have your first and highest level of Negative high voltage, with no problems.
And then . . . .AND THEN . . . comes the series insertion of the dreaded and cremated R31 resistor . . . a carbon film type . . . no less.
Concentrating on the left photo now . . . .
It has its left end connecting into a quadrant of 4, left sloping pads. The top two I am wondering about, as they are staked and on day one, probably looked as good as the vertically arranged WHITE and PALE YELLOW wire wraps just to their slight upper left.
Now it looks to me . . . yet for you to confirm . . .that the top stake is open unless the GREEN wire takes a hard twist to the right to then connects and wraps on it.
BUT it looks like to me that both wires are solder connected to the lower stake of the top two..
Then we look at the second pad up of the four and it is going upwards from WHITE X to a high value of resistor that than goes upward into a cluster of 1 meg and 100K + values of resistors . . .they would NOT load down that supply line, to fry that R31.
ALSO that cluster of resistors are then connecting back down thru ONE high value resistor to the center GREY high voltage capacitor, so that line also could not load down the main supply.
Now that finally leaves the bottom pad of the 4 that is receiving the voltage output of R31 at WHITE C that then passes down the foil path
to WHITE C PRIME line that directly connects the BLUE 0.1 ufd filter caps negative connection..
Now if that capacitor is shorted / badly leaking/ constantly arcing over . . . . that condition could fry that R31 series supply resistor.
OR a miswired connection, of that previously mentioned PALE YELLOW and GREEN wires, if one is not belonging there, if someone else with a poor memory has worked on the unit.
Now let's look at the other lower ORANGE CIRCLE connection of the right photo. It obviously being the LOW potential side of the transformer ? supply .
It immediately routes to the left for making two + connections "grounds" of the two GRAY filter caps. BUT do note that the bottom connection of the
BLUE capacitor is not involved.
Look at it and t seems to go to a possible repaired service loop that is wound around it and goes up at a 45 degree angle to another pad with a wire inside.
Also look at the nearby YELLOW corner apex where there seems to be a Phillips screw inside of a Hex alum-i-ninny-yum- yum spacer.
Am I just seeing a shadow there or is it blackened out , such that an arcover to that area has occurred and burned a carbonification of the phenolic board ? Considering that standoffs screw received a metal shield that is eventually grounded to chassis.
Last associated consideration . . . since that BLUE cap did not share the paired GRAY caps grounding, there may be a voltage divider at the bottom of that cap in the BLUE supply so that a lower voltage negative supply can be acquired.
IF one of those resistors happened to be the scorched R20 12K ?, all of the massive overloading of the R31 could have slightly overloaded R20.
Looking at your final photos two resistors, I just commented on the R20.
Now for your MAIN R31 ? 34? and its photo, I see its definite untouched BROWN first band and likewise a BLACK second band, I now think that in knowing this type of scope circuitry and the expected voltage and currents involved.a 100 ohm would be too low of a resistance to fry that resistor as it is.
And
THAT a 1K value would be just right, to burn up the same , and a 10K value would only discolor, just about a much as the R20 did.( If R20 is not the last leg of that BLUE supply and you find one of its leads connected to chassis ground. )
YOUR HOMEWORK . . . . .
ALL of the above answers requested . Also check the number ? . . . if possible . . . of the H V diode and if any, or particularly, if the BLUE capacitor is shorted.
Now . . .Vat chew tink ? . . . .
