For the retrace, I connected a .047mfd cap to the output of the VOT, followed by a 39Kohm resistor connected to the CRT cathode.

Now a 27k resistor blanks the retrace completely - even at high brightness low contrast, but it lowers the contrast overall a bit. 47k doesn't really blank the retrace at all. 33 or 39k don't completely blank the retrace in all circumstances, but don't affect the picture so much.

I also tried a .01 and .1mfd capacitor, didn't seem to make much difference. I suppose I could try a .001 or a 100pf and see what happens.

Those pictures above were taken with the .047mfd and 39Kohm as described.
