The HV rectifiers shown in that pic ARE 3A2s...3A2s are 9-pin minature types 3A3s are bakelite base octals there is no mistaking what is pictured. You may have 3A3s in it now but when you took that pic there were 3A2s in it.

By that logic I assume you are still running 60's vintage Valvoline oil in your Olds Healy...Running paper dielectric caps in a TV these days is about the same as taking a barn find car that hasn't had a fluid change in 60 years and running the original fluids till it ceases or the engine block cracks...Actually, you already experienced the TV equivalent when you burnt up your flyback some years ago.

Well you can close the HV cage and hide the new damper, but it still will look weird if the old socket is empty, and you or anyone servicing the set in the future could plug the yoke into the wrong scoket by mistake.

If my opinion on your posts is unwelcome I'm perfectly content to let you continue to publicly talk to yourself (as you primarily have been in this thread) mindlessly reposting old pictures we've already seen and repeatedly asking an uninterested pack of crickets for a response...Shine on ya crazy diamond-Pink Floyd
