You can mail him a problematic set. That will keep the stimulation going!

Ahhhh, great idea. I think there is a 50s GE or and maybe a Hoffman out in the garage thats just loaded with wax caps. Sets that didnt even work when they rolled off the assembly line.
Ill take a look tomorrow.
Need to get the forum fired back up again.

I think the Hoffman with the yellow tinted glass would be awesome! When I do my 5, maybe some stimulation there. LOL

well good point but since i changed the 4.7k resistor in the yoke i dont have the lines anymore and besides i have a new yoke for it but didnt put it in. the hv is good but with 2 hots something is still funny about this set and the cathode currant. the currant is at what it is stated to be but cant get it lower.

If it's right on spec, I would not worry about it too much, Check the flyback after running for a while. If it's just warm, No worries, if it's burning hot, something is wrong. I had a set with high cathode current, changed the HOT and the current dropped down to acceptable levels.

How's the Magnavox comb doing? I'm sure we would all like to see more pictures of it.
