Hi folks,

I'm done with the recapping of the Phonola, now i have better picture geometry and stable, less touchy vertical hold.

But the original problems are still there, i have a very bright raster, but the picture has little contrast, it gets to a half scale grey where it should be black (swapping the video amp tube with a NOS one makes no difference)

I also still have the shrinking horizontal scan, it starts wide then starts to shrink after about 5 minutes (as you can see in the photo of the TV in the first page)

By the way, this TV has cathode drive for the CRT

I hope i don't have a bad CRT or partially shorted flyback... any ideas?
