taken with no CRT hooked up.
YES, adjusting the drive control has slight effect on HV, by about 1.5 volt.
At this point, I'm not sure if I believe what the DVM told me or not, as the HV is now normal. and the sweep looked OK,I did look briefly for a "Fly 1 " but did not get any hits, if it is really bad I'd have to look harder, but I'm not sure where
EDIT--
just hooked up a CRT and the HV went up to 11kv.
i am really doubting the FBT is bad now...
