HV holding right at 25kv regardless of brightness or scene changes. The tint is a bit odd, it seems to change a bit from left to right. I suspect its the odd ball GE color circuit (no color osc). Maybe the lower voltage from the tap is effecting it, but I did not notice it on lower line voltage. hmmm have to look at the schematic some more. Maybe a weak burst amp or something like that.

The eff coil is still WAY out nearly out of the form to get the peak. I did not change those caps (the one across the coil and two that go to ground from each end of the coil).

I noticed a very slight foldover on the right edge that was not there before. I was going to adj the coil just a bit to see if I could correct that.

Oh one more thing, the HOtube grid voltage is now about -64v increased the neg voltage about 8v.

what I may end up doing is wiring up the chassis so I can switch out the extra resistance on the screen. I would like to add a low/high switch on the back, I have this on some of my sylvania sets (for the PWR xfromer tap).
