I'm going to swap the original 10FP4 back into the set (if you'll remember it was brighter and had more contrast, but didn't focus as well) to see how that one looks now that I can move the focus coil more freely. I also need to find vintage replacement 56pf and 82pf capacitors. I have modern replacements in the set in these values and they will need to be swapped out. Anyone have good, but old, replacements for those caps? I also would like to see if adding a vertical retrace blanking circuit is feesable for this set. I have read about this modification, but only on sets where the video is fed to the cathode, not to the grid like this set is. Does anyone know if you can do a retrace blanking mod on sets with video fed to the grid?
