New Flyback-Too Much Width

I tried a resistor across the width coil but when the width was right, the HV went down to about 7.6 KV due to the overload the resistor caused.

So, I have decided to remove the FLY-1 and use it in an RCA 630 that needs
a 211T3. The Thord. cross reference says the FLY-1 is equal to a 211T3.
We will see. ;^) ;^) ;^)

I got a a 'junker' 50T set and I'm going to install the flyback and yoke from it
in the set I've done all the repair work on.

Thanks for the suggestions and help, all very much appreciated.

When I finally make the Philco work, I'll take a picture of it displaying the Indian Head Test Pattern and post it.
