Yes, good point. A dropping resistor should do.
Meanwhile, I'm trying to decipher what was done to this set. The choke L34 is missing. Nothing left but a rubber stamp on the chassis and two empty mounting holes.
The parts list describes it as "reactor: choke coil," giving a stock number of 78961 and no other specs.
The choke is connected between the junction of rectifier CR1 and capacitor C3 and its other lead goes to terminal 1 of R241, the screen purity control.
Perhaps someone intended to replace the choke, which had failed and caused other problems. The wires have been ripped from R241 and from R3, the purity control. Both of the 22-ohm resistors wired in parallel with those controls have broken in half. In this photo of R3, you can see that someone crimped a salvaged resistor around a couple of ripped-out wires, maybe as a reminder to "fix this someday."
I'll sort out the wiring eventually. Not so sure where to go for a replacement choke. I don't have bins of spare parts on hand, and the manual gives no spec for it, other than the stock number (78961).
