Well, first I have to see if I can get the driver tubes to do the right thing. Otherwise anything in the chroma circuit is pretty useless. I can see right now that the local oscilator does in fact lock, because there are bars that will float by vertically then lock in. It's only visible as a slight change in brightness right now, but it's there. I scoped the burst amp tube a bit ago, and it looks like the burst is gated correctly and getting through to the rest of that section, so at least I have that much going for me. I think for now the right thing to do will be to see if I can somehow get the purity magnets mounted (something like what you had to do to your 5), and sort that out.
Before any of that though, while I was scoping the burst gate (amp, whatever) I smelled ozone coming from the HV cage and heard leakage. Pretty sure I'll have to pause and replace the filament windings for the rectifier tubes before going any farther, so I'm off to scrounge some 40 kv wiring.
