No mix up in terminology. Banderson answered my question and then the thread took a bit of a change in direction. Now that I'm getting good video I wanted to share it and compare it to his photos. I know you're being helpful with the suggestions, and I appreciate it. If I should have started a new thread instead, my apologies...
I don't have half of the equipment listed in the repair manual for the alignment procedure, nor did I intend to try it. After the comments given, it doesn't look like alignment is an issue.
I know there are still issues with the adjustments. I haven't had much time to do a lot of fine tuning. As I mentioned, the waviness is pretty much eliminated with the Horizontal hold. I hadn't fine-tuned it before I took the pics. The horizontal frequency has been adjusted per the instructions.
The ion trap is causing the shadowing. When I move it to a point where I get the maximum brightness, that's when the shadow is the worst. When I move the trap to a position that completely eliminates the shadow, the picture dims a fair amount. Are you saying that this is indicative of a high-voltage issue?
All the capacitors with the exception of the 10kV "Doorknob" for the CRT anode are new. I have both the Rider's and Sams schematics and the voltage and resistances check out OK. Originally I had too much width and the control had no effect. It turns out the damper resistor had failed and once replaced, the raster was the correct size and the controls then had good range. All the tubes in the cage check out good.
