Zenith A1512J restoration

[Phil Nelson]

I experimented with a width sleeve when restoring my Capehart-Farnsworth 661-P. This article includes some explanatory paragraphs from an old TV service book:

The book says the ground connection is to prevent arcing from the sleeve to yoke windings.

In my casual experiments, pushing the sleeve in and out had quite an effect (granted, this was on a TV designed to use a width control, not a sleeve).

I don't see a sleeve in Bob's photo, only a ring. Is the sleeve pushed all the way into the yoke so that it's not visible?
