Today, I was working on the set and the smell of ozone was in the air. I suspected the old HV wiring in the cage was to blame, so I set about replacing it. I have a slew of newer chassis in the garage thanks to Doug, so I grabbed a spare Sylvania chassis and robbed the wiring from it. The old CTC-4 stuff was cracked in a few places, so I have no doubt there was leakage occurring. It was only single jacket stuff anyway, the new stuff is more modern double jacket.
First I replced the filament winding for the 3A3 rectifier, holding it in place with shrink tubing around the flyback core.
