dumb me did not see that the focus coil was across a fly winding, after taking it out of circuit it checked fine. Darn... i will try a new one anyway since this one is all gummed up with a waxy stuff that make the adj gooey.
I also set up the chassis to do a B+ current check. I may end up putting a fuse on the B+ as well. esp since I still have the orig filter caps (they check like new for leakage and capacity so I just can bring myself to restuff them)
I did not check EVERY section of the two caps so if the B+ show excessive draw I will do. I know that if the B+ is low that would explain my width issues so that is the main reason I am checking. Overall the B+ is not that far off so I dont think I will find anything major here.
I did run a fan on the fly and after 1 hour it was barely warm so I will def be looking into how to set that up on a perm basis. It was pretty noisey so I will be looking for a smaller quieter fan. I want to make the fan install a no mod to the HV cage. I am thinking of making a plenum that will adapt to a partially open cage top. it will take a bit but I really like keeping that fly cool.
