Well I retested the caps on a heathkit cap checker that I went through and recapped, replaced out of tolerance resistors and calibrated.
They all check good...... that being said 2 of the 100mf caps that I originally used did form very slowly. The newer ones formed quick.

So I guess I will replace the chassis mount resistor and check the focus coil although I am not sure how to check it right now. The tv itself is in another town at my friends house and I called him and he stated that there are only 4 wires going to the yoke and not 6. So I am unsure how the focus coil is hooked up.
If my memory serves me correctly the diagram showed a coil and(or) a permanent magnet assembly for focus but did not show routing of wires but when I look at the yoke it appears to have a narrow coil in front of the deflection coils.
Oh well if this hobby was easy more people would do it....right?
