Got a nice bright raster, and HV doesn't droop even with the brightness control at max. There is a slight blooming though, and I see some drive lines. I'll run through the horizontal setup procedure, purity and convergence, then throw some nice patterns up.  |
That is almost certainly a focus rectifier stick....IIRC I tested a good one with a diode tester and got an open circuit during some work a few months back. They are selenium based IIRC and need to have a large (enough to not be measurable on pedestrian modern diode testers) forward voltage drop in order to have sufficiently high PIV to handle focus rectifier duty.
That set looks like it is well on it's way down the right track! Nice work.
