all this time I have been saying I have the N chassis, I just double checked, its a AA chassis.
I did find raising the resistance slightly improved the HV supply slightly. But the increased drive may have slightly stretched the left side of the raster.

I think the problem is the back flyback HV supply design with limited beam current in this set. It would be nice to be told whether or not the CTC5 picture is as dim as other color sets of the same vintage.
