Well this ain't much... but it is light,

It appears that when we removed the tube for the photo session, we got the yoke off 120 degrees
Since Peter Kellers crt book was published in 1991, I suspect that the set has not been turned on since then or I *might* have noticed this error.
Again, thanks all for the good input!
"I would try to put in a separate CRT filament transformer"
It actually has a 6.3V winding on the autotransformer that is used for the B+... Strange, but inexpensive way to go!
