I took the measurements and compared to the schematic.
Cathodes
Pins 4-13-5 Schematic said 275, I read between 275 and 280.
G1s
Pin 6 Called for 230, I read 171
Pin 12 called for 230, I read 176
Pin 2 called for 220, I read 165
G2
Pin 7 Called for 475, I read 750v
Pin 11 Called for 425 I read 763v
Pin 3 Called for 445, I read 776v
These could all be easily adjusted to the specific voltages by adjusting the gain pots. but my picture disappeared
These were all read with the simple setup performed and a signal to the tv. I read the filament voltage and it reads on my meter at 6.09 volts, not sure if this is just a variance in my meter or the actual voltage and/or if that small amount would make any difference.
If I understand any of this, the Low G1 voltage combined with low brightness isn't a good thing., as well as the higher g2 voltage required to produce any image. Im still new, but all of that points to a weak CRT to me? Im really open to being corrected though
