Sony KV2680R floor model T.V. was "worked on"
elsewhere! R187 by vhf tuner is missing! Anyone
have the value? It's dead, but I want to put it as it
was first! Any links to a schematic? It's in very good
condition, & I want to repair it! Thanks, Rono.

26" sony tube from late 1980's?
Tube is most likely junk. Sony had a really bad run on the 26" tubes
and it is strongly recommended that the tube be properly checked before
proceeding and wasting time on it.

Agreed, unless you want to check the crt first then buy the service manuel.
Sams Photofact may supply at a price.

I would have the CRT properly tested before spending any time or money on
this set!

Sony did have a bad run of 26" tubes around then, but I'm told by a Sony
guru that they rejunenate well, unlike their newer tubes.

I know the Sony's! I'm one of a very few in my town, &
area that do lots of them over the years! I got the resistor
value from a guy on this group! Thanks a lot! As some of
you know, Sony is the very best, & these do rejuviniate
well! Anything common before I start? Horizontal output,
drive, & power supply, look ok...no shorts, or nothing open,
as of yet! And thanks to all of you who post, & E-Mail me!
It's hard to get help, even from fellow techs! Rono.
