Not too much luck today with it. After the corona dope cured, I reinserted the width sleeve and it immediately started arching. I had used the lighter amber corona dope to coat the yoke windings, but I have not used the thicker orange stuff, and it's curing now.
I also discovered something else. I was watching bandersen's series on Zenith bug eye sets last night. In that series, he encounters width sleeves for the 1st time. He describes them and mentions the spring clip that holds them in place with a ground wire. I hadn't don't that, so I went back out to the parts chasses where I got that width sleeve out of a yoke, and sure enough, there was that grounding clip. However installing it made no difference. Still arching.
Continuing to watch his series on the Zenith sets, I noticed his yoke had a cardboard sleeve insulating the yoke windings. So is the correct set up: yoke, cardboard sleeve, then width sleeve inside the cardboard b ut still against the tube neck, or should the width sleeve be directly in contact with the woke windings?
