Thanks. I think once you get the hang of strippers, grain filler and lacquer, it's really not that hard.

I replaced the dual selenium with a modern dual schottky diode and it made no difference. Neither did moving the CRT leads around so I installed the chassis into the cabinet and hooked up the new CRT.

The issue remains but it's not nearly as bad as it was.


It's hardly noticeable when viewing actual programming.


I need to do a little work on centering the picture and it's still not quite as bright as I think it should be.
There's also a bit of buzzing in the audio that varies with the contrast control. Perhaps an alignment will get rid of it. Otherwise, the sound is great
