Hey folks,
I recently found a C1-112 which is in good nick optically and has all the accessories, but is not working, sadly.
When powering up the first time, it briefly gave me a reasonable picture, including a trace on the scope side and the numbers on the multimeter side. Then the picture faded away.
I went through and recapped the whole thing and already changed the transistors in the deflection amplifier to the back of the unit.
I got the +/- 12 V power supply working again and adjusted it properly within the +/-0.1V range.
In the meantime I managed to get a dot on the CRT again, meaning that the 2kV supply and the CRT work.
But when measuring what is marked as the +5V rail, it sometimes shows around 5.66V, then it returns to the 10.2V coming from the rectifier to the pass transistor VT48. Thinking that VT48 and its neighbour VT46 could be faulty, I swapped them for more modern replacement transistors, just like I did with my C1-94s. But the behaviour doesn't change. For the moment I disconnected the multimeter boards to avoid exposing them to the +10V until I figure out what is happening.
Edit: Found the mistake. I'm not sure if the original transistor VT46 was in the wrong way, but my replacement certainly was. Now I have the 5V rail back.
Funny enough: The indicator light on the front is said to be powered from +5V, but when I measure there, I have no voltage.
Edit: It seems that the 5V don't get delivered away from the power supply board. But I can't find how it's supposed to be routed. The ribbon cables weren't conclusive so far.
Does anyone here know their way around the C1-112 to give me some advice where to go next?
I'm still in the process to Google-translate a Russian article on the C1-112, so it'll be some time until I get some useful instructions on troubleshooting.
