UPDATE, JULY 19, 2019, DAY 349
From Mike: “Hi Marshall. I replaced the AC line capacitors tonight, and I also did some troubleshooting of the edge convergence issues. One thing that needed to be addressed was that one of the phase adjust coils was sloppy in its mounting to the chassis. So, JB weld epoxy has been applied and by tomorrow that coil will be rock solid in its mount. More troubleshooting will be required in order to find the real problem. I also spent some time building an adapter socket for the crt tester. I used the 15GP22 socket that was removed from this chassis in order to build it. It worked fine, and it tells an interesting story. I left the test going for a half an hour in order to give it a good warm up. Keep in mind that when I tested the crt last year, I did not give this kind of warm up time. The idea at the time was to simply evaluate the crt as working or not. This time, the test is more conclusive.
Last year’s numbers: Red .825 Today’s numbers 1.2
Last year’s numbers: Green .6 Today’s numbers .8
Last year’s numbers: Blue .9 Today’s numbers 1.75 (almost doubled)
So, YES, the blue is much stronger now than it was before. And, I am a bit concerned about the numbers on Red and Green.

Author: Better news about the gun strength, happy about that although the green is marginal. The cap that exploded was a silver mica type.
