8liner 25 inch Chassis

[mckay24]

Hi, wonderful board,...........learned plenty from you guys.

I bought 3 329-25 chassis from atlas and 2 of them worked great!,........but one is not,.........i hear a flyback whine,.......and there is 165 volts on b+,........... but it fails to charge up the tube nor do I see a glow in the neck of tube,.......... no the tubes prob, because i was able to get it working with the other chassis.

I live in Canada,......would prefer any help on trying to fix it first before sending back as they were quick to suggest for me,......... any suggestions?

Thanks Jim

lol I gather by lack of any responses, i should just send it back

Since it's brand new and under warranty, I'd send it back for repair or exchange.

OK,...thanx

From where I am the cost of shipping almost is more than the value of this chassis and return shipping.

Was just trying to avoid that,..........but maybe if I were to purchase more, it might make it more reasonable.

Check to make sure you didn't bend a pin on the neck when you were putting the neckboard on.  I've done that more times than I want to admit and thought a chassis was bad.

Hi,

Yeah I did try it on three different tubes,...........plus the tubes I did try it on,........the other two chassis worked fine on them.

I must have spent hours checking continuity on the traces from the flyback,....... and checking solders,............just bad luck I guess,.....bad component somewhere I believe.

Thank You
