The drawing says I should have from 16.5 K volts to 19.5K volts on the anode. I don't think I have that much. That is almost color TV voltage. This thing has a vertical chassis and a test jig would come in handy to check some of the voltages I need to check. I'd say I have a sizzle of high voltage, more than a spark. The way the wires are run in this stereo, it will be nearly impossible to run this chassis in the cabinet to check voltages on the back side of the chassis. Pending a few more tests, my guess at this point is I don't have enough high voltage to light the CRT. I tested the CRT yet again and it has really decent emissions and cutoff since I have been running it so much. It did take awhile for it to wake up. If I didn't know better, I'd say I have lost B+. This thing does nothing except light the tube filaments. So far, I have B+. I'm going to concentrate on the deflection board. I'd think there has got to be a missing voltage somewhere, but what do I know?
