Additional preventive measures.
From Mike: UPDATE, JULY 3, 2019, DAY 333
“Greetings. I spent the evening working on arc control. The arc that took place during the recent pictures was a result of the newly installed electrolytic capacitor in close proximity to the top of the H.V. regulator tube. I have done some work this evening in several parts of the HV system in an effort to avoid any more arcing.
Pix #1 The 6BK4 HV regulator showing the nearby capacitor which is taller than the original. It is too close to the top of the tube which has 20 KV or more on the cap.
Pix #2 Insulating tape installed on tops and sides of nearby capacitors. I have installed electronic lacing tape to keep the tape from coming loose.
Pix #3 The 6BK4 reinstalled.
Pix #4 The same insulation on the HV rectifiers with the lacing tape.
Pix #5 The barrier that I made from insulation material to keep the focus rectifier voltages separate from the HV rectifier voltages. Westinghouse should have installed this barrier in the original design, in my opinion.
Pix #6 The barrier installed.
Still waiting for the magnet, but I am ready.
Regards, Mike”
