Another interesting thing has cropped up as well. Watched the set for a bit, and I noticed that after about 15 minutes, the horizontal sweep shrunk about 1/2" on each side. The picture itself didn't seem to compress, the sweep just shrunk. It didn't shrink beyond that, but the picture did seem to dim somewhat. I can bring the picture back to the edges with the AGC, but then it goes out of focus. If I tune the set to a blank channel, it gives a full raster.....

The 6BG6 was very slightly gassy, and now it seems to be more so. Didn't check the tube yet, but I have a spare that I'm going to plunk in to see if that changes anything....
