There is no focus pot however the wire leading from the focus pin of the crt has three placement positions. One pos. is 0 volts another is 310V and last is 790v. There is a resistor inside the picture tube socket and measures correctly. The 0 volts provides best focus but still out of focus. The high voltage is higher then normal about 22k. There is a strap that can be cut to make high voltage higher according to RCA service guide. Voltage 22k when strap was attached. 25k not straped. Hoping someone can help with this focus problem.
My line voltage is a little high around 123VAC.

I have one of those as well!
One of the forum members suggested a very mild rejuvenation. When those CRT's are a little weak, the focus isn't that great, even though the gray-scale might be good. I never tried it, your results may vary.
